However, international corporations have targeted water as the 21st century's gold rush, and they are in action, right now, all over the world, privatizing water. It is happening not only in cities, but in counties and also in whole countries. And since it is in the DNA of corporations to maximize profits to shareholders, the price of water, even abundantly available water, will rise to whatever price the market will bear. This is above and beyond the 'supply and demand' mechanism. In the face of all this, sadly, such a bath water recycling machine, designed for astronauts in space, will become a general necessity, even when water is still abundant. -AC

I loved the movie "Tank Girl", as well as the comic book series... Water & Power...

Around my necks you can remove the shower head completely and still won't get much over 1-2 gpm because the water pressure has been regulated by the county because our reservoirs are at a 100+ year low.
Now I tell you what helps, is turn down the faucet. I turn it down to a trickle while soaping up. In that sense the showerhead's nozzle shut-off button does help. Otherwise I suspect we won't have to worry about any kind of water coming out in the foreseeable future. Last edited by 8307c4; 08-12-14 at 09:03 AM.. |

So, it's basically the same technology used for automatic carwash?

Never new car washes recycled the water but it makes sense they would to be more responsible with the cities water supply or lack there of. The system probably saves them money as well , a win win.
Motor homes and RV's could stand to have a small water recycler , for the convenience of not having to empty and fill the holding tanks quite as often. A spin off effect would be extended stays and saved trips / fuel too refill the water. I Imagine some of the high end units have the feature already. |
