I think that statistic assumes you don't have a 3 bar shower pump!
I can certainly fill the bath out of my normal shower but I'm currently using the downstairs shower which is gravity fed at about 1/2 a bar. You don't half notice it gives out a lot less water!
I'd certainly go for rain water if I could collect enough of it. Much better than the calcium hydrogen carbonate solution we get out of the tap in Kent!
I'm all for rain and grey water solutions but the reality is that they need to be designed into a building from outset. Retrofitting isn't at all practical in most cases.
