The Shower Of The Future Cuts Water Waste To Almost Nothing | Co.Exist | ideas + impact

Showering is fun, but it does rack up the water bill. The average family goes through 40 gallons of water a day in the shower.

The OrbSys is an all-in-one unit that recycles water at your feet, cleanses it to drinking quality, then returns it for re-use. Mahdjoubi says a 10-minute shower uses only five liters (1.3 gallons) compared to a standard 150 liters (40 gallons). It also saves 80% in energy costs, because the recycled water remains warm and doesn't need much reheating.
