Not the faucet.
Rainwater off your roof, I think it's just captured rainwater.
I mean, the beauty of that is like the house I bought, it's like a thousand square feet.
It's not big.
So the roof is a thousand square feet.
And I believe it's like an inch of water on a thousand square foot roof is 600 gallons, which is a crazy amount when you think about it, because an inch isn't that much rain.
And so what I did is I built a system to pull that water off the roof, filter it, because you're going to get like particulate matter, you're going to get leaves and stuff like that.
Yeah, so it'll filter it.
And then it goes under the ground to a huge cistern in my backyard.
Yeah, you can do it that way.
Or you can do like rain barrels off of certain areas.
Like I've got a shed that isn't connected to that roof system.
So I've got a rain barrel on that shed.
Very nice.
You can't send water back to the city.
What I mean by that is like, let's say my laundry machine, which has a gray water system on it,
If I'm running, let's say a load of laundry that requires a detergent that I don't really want in the ground, then I'll just turn the valve and it'll send that water output to the city.
In water, so I did the math.
I have it on our second YouTube channel where I kind of chronicled it over the years.
I put a bunch of solar on the roof.
