I'm an old male geezer living alone and as a way to conserve water, I've been wondering if it would be harmful to the pipes it I collected urine in a bottle and poured it down a sink with running water? Using a large toilet bowl to flush urine to the sewer seems so extravagant in water-hungry Southern Calif, yet letting urine stand in the toilet bowl for any period of time will stain the bowl. I realize that I'm using water if I used the sink, but the amount would be much smaller than using the toilet bowl. I feel that with a 'straight' pipe going to the sewer it should be no problem, but I notice that all drain pipes from a sink have that "crook" in them for some reason and am wondering if the urine would 'settle' there in spite of the running water and mess up the pipes.
