A modular, retrofittable, and portable drain water recycle system, for installation into, and removal from, an existing host plumbing system having a host water supply, a sink, a tub or shower, a toilet, and a sewer. The modules include a drain fixture module, a system control module, and a storage tank module, all interconnectable. Gray water is collected from a tub, shower, or sink, by a drain fixture module, and is stored in a storage tank module for reuse in flushing a toilet. The drain fixture module and storage tank module are controlled by the system control module. Capacity can be altered by adding or removing storage tank modules. Different host systems can be accommodated by adding or removing drain fixture modules and system control modules. Drain fixture modules replace or are installed nearby existing P-traps, normally accessible. Storage tank modules and system control modules are of such shape and size as to fit under a typical sink inside the sink cabinet.

A modular and portable gray water reclaim system that is retrofittable into a host system containing at least a host water supply, a sink having a P-trap, a tub or shower having a P-trap, a toilet, and a sewer, the gray water reclaim system comprising: a drain fixture module, a system control module
A modular and portable gray water reclaim system that is retrofittable into a host system containing at least a host water supply, a sink having a P-trap, a tub or shower having a P-trap, a toilet, and a sewer, the gray water reclaim system comprising: a drain fixture module, a system control module, and a storage tank module; said drain fixture module interconnectable with the host system tub or shower and the host system sewer and said system control module; said system control module interconnectable with said drain fixture module, with said storage tank module, with the host system water supply, and with the host system toilet; said storage tank module interconnectable with said system control module; so that said system control module can receive gray water from said drain fixture module and deliver it to said storage tank module when said storage tank module is not full, and so that said system control module can receive gray water from said storage tank module and deliver it to the host system toilet when said storage tank module is not empty, and so that said system control module can receive water from the host system water supply and deliver it to the host system toilet when said storage tank module is empty; said system control module and said storage tank module being of such size and shape as to fit under the host system sink, said drain fixture module being interconnectable to the host system tub or shower by replacing the host system tub or shower P-trap; said storage tank module adapted to be interposed between the host system sink and the host system sink P-trap, said storage tank module also having a spillover, so that the host system sink drains directly into said storage tank module, and so that when said storage tank module is full, gray water exits through said spillover into the P-trap and into the host system sewer; modularity, in that the gray water reclaim system comprises interconnectable modules; retrofittability with a minimum of trauma to the host system, in that the gray water reclaim system taps into the host system at the host system sink P-trap and at the host system tub or shower P-trap and the host system sewer, and in that said system control module and said storage tank module fit under the host system sink; portability from the host system to another host system, in that each of said modules of the gray water reclaim system may be removed from the host system and retrofitted afresh with a minimum of trauma into another host system.
