Grey water from showers and washing machine goes into underground tank through a mesh filter to remove hair fluff etc... 

 From underground tank it's pumped by a submersible to sand and charcoal filters.

 Then flows into the reed/bio tank and then pumped by trickle feed via a small pond pump into the main clean tank..... that then gets used to supply two toilets and also pool and garden if required...
Question posed:  Are you using two pumps ?

Answer: Yes.....3 infact..... submersible DAB with built in float switch In grey water collection tank... small pond pump with fountain in Reed tank to airate & circulate and then pressure pump from filtered storage tank into toilet feeds
