A 2.5gpm shower uses 19x more water then the eco shower.

a 2.5 gpm shower head uses 150 gallons in 60 minutes the eco shower uses 7.8 gallons in 60 minutes.

I think its a good start at re purposing some of Nasa's hypermiling tech into Eco Tech for home use.
After more development , I could see the recycling shower also being installed in New Semi passive high rise building constructions.

- The recycling toilet -

If the Recycling toilet can succeed despite its low appeal then i feel the recycling shower should be at least as successful, they do complement each other , the shower would need a sink built into it to complete the system.
That current shower stall could cost $4,500 to $7500 ,so the concept needs A LOT of development ,into a more affordable fiberglass standard shower stall size , with the works above the unit for space spacings.
With a price of around $900 so People will buy it.
