Assuming you are using a 1.5 gallon-per-flush toilet, it will take about a minute and a half to refill the tank. Let us know how your system works out as using graywater for flushing a toilet is a great way to recycle water. Hi Jeff,

The installation would be in the laundry room with pump outlet piping running only about 12 feet to the separated/dedicated toilet tank line. Do you think this will be sufficient? Or do I need a bigger GPM pump? Thanks!! I am planning on using a Shurflo 12volt DC, 1 GPM pump, model #8000-541-236, for pumping laundry greywater (filtered) from a 55 gallon drum to 1 toilet tank.
