...For the pumps that run off of the city water supply, I believe you actually have to run the taps to get the pump action. I’m sure this method would work quite well, but it does seem kind of wasteful. Also, I think we'd have to be home to turn the taps on. It is an interesting idea from another perspective though, in that using tap water normally, we can generate power for various uses like charging batteries, assuming of course the device wasn't a pump, but a small turbine....
You are totally incorrect in your assumptions. The water is always on and available, no tap to open. It functions on the venturi principle and removes a claimed 3 gallons of waste for every one gallon used. It may seem like a waste of water but consider this;
no battery
no charger
no DC powered pump
virtually nothing to maintain or replace after initial purchase and installation.
