I spent my time collecting info based on recycling shower technology. Most of the snazzy websites/products were based out of Australia; apparently the country has a serious water shortage. The Quenchshower is a tiled shower that hooks up to your current water supply for both regular hygiene showers as well as extended luxury showers. The drain is plugged, a reservoir at the base fills up, and then the shower engages into "auto mode" continually recycling the water previously plugged up. After exiting the shower, hit a button and the shower engages a one-minute cleanse cycle to remove any excess water still in the system. What is great is that the water still goes down the drain afterwards, so no serious water pipe diversion/conversion is required. Another shower relied on "phytopurification" to clean shower water. Microorganisms eat soap and shampoo molecules, and render the water ready for reuse. Two very clever ways to clean water. By Thursday I would like to have researched enough about filtration systems, so that I can redisign the schematic during next work period.
