I got the idea of this outdoor washer setup from SF Water, they actually gave you the detail explanation on how to rig the washer discharge for grey water system and say it does not need permit, so I guess it is legit. However the plan is really for a permanent setup that cost like $2k, and my washer isn't sitting against an exterior wall but rather in the center of the house's living area (it is a floor plan that is very efficient all around except the dryer in the middle, with vent going through the AC / heater duct). I was thinking about manually hook up a pipe every time I wash clothes but it is too much trouble, so the portable outdoor washer seems to be the way to go. Also the ECO detergent seems to be the "better" one for the plants and everyone says use this instead of anything else (including 7th Generation), so that is legit as well.
Main concern is actually how good is portable washer (I don't want to spend $500 to put a big indoor washer outside, or move the washer outdoor seasonally), and how people like keeping a washer in the yard (do they shield it in a shed or just leave it under the sun).
