Do you have space for a small water heater in your master bathroom?
whenever I collect water like that I use it to flush the toilet the next time I use the toilet. I do agree it is a waste of good water. Old planning and design way that needs to be changed in the codes. I lived in San Francisco for many years and the drought had us doing that to not waste any.
