Help with bathroom closed system

[Darksinth]

I've made a closed system consisting of a water sieve, sink, lavatory and shower that doesn't need any additional water once it's up and running. I ran into some problems though and I can't seem to fix it on my own. Some help would be appreciated :)

The shower, sink and lavatory stopped working after a while. I noticed the pipes were full and after some investigation I discovered that the lavatory has a 100% higher water output than input, causing my pipes to eventually become full.

My solution for this was to split my pipe system up: add a branch that goes towards a liquid valve for my water reserve. This way 50% should go to my liquid valve and 50% goes towards my closed system. Problem solved? Nope, somehow my closed system is starting to run out of water now... Yet I can't determine why :/ Ideas?

I dump all my waste water into a small tank. From there it is pumped back out cleaned and sent back to the toilets. The extra water is sent to oxygen generation. You can also use the waste water for fertizer generation or to feed some plants as a way to dispose of it.

I actually found the solution... I can give priority to a certain pipe by making a pipe bridge. I used this on my bathroom system and had another pipe go to a liquid valve... Now thinking of clever ways to put that clean water to use... maybe automated water for my bristle berries :-) Though I also need water for my algea terraria... I will find a way :-)

Thanks for responding ^_^

i have the waste pumped into a water purifier, set up to automatically send the water right back into the needed appliances with a small difference, i add a liquid valve to seperate a small portion of that water to add to the normal water supply.
i do this because theres always more waste then water. which produces more water then what you fill them with. it eventually clogs since theres too much waste and water in the pipes.
the water valve mitigates this entirely.
