Hi,An interesting concept! A recirculating shower that filters the water.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgF9OoX0-w0&feature=youtu.be recycling shower waterReferred to as "the hour shower".

So every bit of water that goes down my butt will then go over my face. Maybe if you're really trying to save water I guess. Of course you'd have a little trouble if you wanted to get clean by using soap. Desperate measures I suppose.OP link

Why not? The hyper-wealthy in the too-far-east are still considering towing icebergs into corrals and changing the weather in the nearby port city. Death Valley into Paris? Somehow modify trillions of tons of shifting sand into crops like truffles and dates (BS maybe?).One teeny problem here with all these pie-in-the-sky daydreams.ENERGYNASA or BEZOS can afford a nuclear reactor for 100 Mw needed to do this.

Yeah, link is intentionally buggered by youtube to prevent direct linking.Apparently, the inventors/users don't understand the concept of Solutions tho (from what I can discern of the orig post). Or have lower standards of hygiene than I do.

Doesn't have anything to do with U-Tube, just improperly done by the OP.

water water everywhere but not a drop to drink!

Any idea of total cost?

How do the astronauts up in the ISS make out? No shore power or water up there

Butt, not within the last 30 seconds, and untreated to boot(y). :)

"I don't see why folks have such a problem with this idea." Because I also don't wash my face with water directly from my toilet.

It may only be a prototype, but it's still washing your face with water that just came off your butt. YUCK-O!

The two filters clean the water for it to be continuous. Besides all water is used over and over. I don't see why folks have such a problem with this idea. It's a prototype that can only get better and better as new ideas are added to it.

I'm sorry, but how do you use "just a 1/2 gallon of water to take a nice, hot, long shower" unless you're using it over and over? If not, then you're using more than 1/2 gallon of water. Like has been said, nasty.
