A gravity-assisted water saving system, and a method for its use, that can be utilized to collect the condensate from an air conditioning system, sanitize it, and then divert it for constructive use. It has a chamber with an inclined bottom surface, a dimension slightly larger than a stack of several tablets used for sanitizing swimming pool water or bleach tablets used for laundry sanitizing purposes, a P-trap on its water inlet side that prevents corrosive fumes from entering the air conditioning system from which the condensate is derived, a removable cap sealing its top opening to prevent escape of corrosive fumes into the atmosphere, and an optional mounting bracket for enhanced stabilization. Inflow tubing connected to the chamber permits ready attachment of the present invention to an air conditioning condensate discharge pipe, while a discharge tube in an inferior position transports reclaimed water to its location of subsequent use.
