About
"South Africa is a water-scarce country with water restrictions, high tariffs and fixed charges a part of everyday life. With the help of AquaFunnel and your grey water, you can reduce water bills and your impact on the country's strained water sources.
AquaFunnel is designed to divert grey water collected by your home's plumbing system before it becomes wastewater further down the line. This grey water has a range of benefits, including reducing the need to use precious rainwater and saving on household water bills. Grey water is highly usable for everything from watering the garden to flushing toilets.
To use AquaFunnel, locate an outlet pipe outside your house. Cut the AquaFunnel at the line marking that corresponds to the size of the pipe. Unscrew the inspection cover from the pipe elbow, fold and insert the wide end of the AquaFunnel into the inspection hole, twist it until it moves freely, pull it to create a seal and you're done. Now you have a direct link from your grey water outlet pipe to your garden or any other container.
Product Features

- Disclaimer: Do not use an auto shut-off (water stop) hose connector. This could cause water to back up in the pipe resulting in damage. If in doubt consult your local hardware store. Food contaminated grey water is not recommended for garden use.
- We advise that you use biodegradable products.

Grey water’s missing link
The easy, cost-effective way to catch grey water before it’s too late
Funneling down the drains of your house every day and night is one of the most valuable resources in the ongoing fight against high water-usage. It’s called grey water and it has a range of benefits including reducing the need to use precious rain water and saving on household water bills. Grey water is highly usable for everything from watering the garden to flushing toilets.
South Africa is a water-scarce country with water restrictions, high tariffs and fixed charges a part of everyday life. To manage water consumption, it’s up to each and every one of us to fulfill our moral obligation and save as much of this precious resource as we can. We don’t have to be global environmentalists out to save the world, the least we can do is be home eco-warriors with something as simple as the AquaFunnel.
To use grey water successfully, it has to be captured in great quantities. Consider a bucket in the shower. For that bucket to catch 100% of the used shower water, it needs to cover the entire floor area of the shower. Not very likely if you’re using a standard handheld bucket.
The alternative to the “bucket parade”, and the best way to ensure you catch as much grey water as possible, is to let your home’s plumbing system do the work for you. Through drains and outlet pipes, your home’s plumbing system is built to collect grey water. The trick is to divert the grey water it collects before it becomes wastewater further down the line. AquaFunnel is designed to divert greywater from outlet pipes effectively at a very low cost.
AquaFunnel’s tight-fitting nozzle seals the space between the funnel and the outlet pipe ensuring the maximum amount of grey water is collected for re-use. It’s adaptable to
different pipe sizes and attaches to a standard clip-on garden hose for you to water your plants guilt-free.

Truly, the missing link in the fight against high water-usage.
Why do some people leave the microwave on 0:01?
And then just walk away like they haven't committed the biggest atrocity any kitchen has ever seen. They probably also make tea in the order: milk, hot water, sugar and then the tea bag.
It creates the perfect precipice of frustration: keep it bottled in and it'll eat away at you, but if you say something you're the overreacting party-pooper who sucks the fun out of everything.
We realise this might seem a little abstract (for context, somebody did this exact thing at the OneDayOnly headquarters at around 4 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon and it's been bugging us since) but it must be addressed on a grand scale so these perpetrators can understand the extent of their heinous crime.
Anyhoo, here are a truckload of great deals and if that doesn't immediately make you forget about all of your problems in the world, you clearly handle stress differently to us.
