Good points here, especially about habits making things easier. From my experience:
- Greywater setups can definitely be streamlined if you're disciplined from the start.
- Agree on the fine pre-filter—makes a huge difference in maintenance.

Exactly this. If sustainability matters to you, the minor hassle quickly becomes second nature."Depends on your priorities I guess..."
Stick with it, sounds like you're already on the right track.
Curious—did you find the greywater setup impacted your sink choice at all? I've noticed some sinks (especially deeper farmhouse styles) can complicate drainage angles and slow things down. Totally agree on the fine pre-filter though; learned that one the hard way after a few weekends spent unclogging pipes... Did you end up going stainless or something else? Always interesting to hear how different setups hold up over time.

Yeah, farmhouse sinks look great but can be tricky with greywater setups. Ended up going stainless myself—easier to angle properly and clean out. Still curious how porcelain holds up long-term though...
Porcelain holds up pretty well overall, but you gotta watch dropping heavy pots or cast iron pans—chips happen easier than you'd think. Stainless def wins on durability, but porcelain's not terrible if you're careful. Just depends how gentle you are in the kitchen, lol.

Totally agree with this. Porcelain sinks are gorgeous and super easy to keep clean, but I've seen clients underestimate how careful you need to be. Had one homeowner accidentally chip theirs the first week after install with a cast iron skillet...ouch. Stainless steel might be noisier and show water spots more, but it can definitely take more of a beating. Gotta know your cooking style before committing to porcelain, IMO.
