This reminds me of a "re-circulating shower" concept I was looking into recently. By filtering and re-using shower water, it saves both water and heating energy. There is a company in Sweden doing this: https://orbital-systems.com/ https://orbital-systems.com/.
There's a bit of an ick factor, but with filtration, it seems this should be more hygienic than bathing? My family remains unconvinced though ;)
- tempestn 4y agoMost people are fine with hot tubs aka spas, which are essentially this. (In fact most spa designs don't even filter all the water on each re-circulation, as there are returns both at the bottom and in the skimmer, and only the latter is filtered.) Re-circulating shower sounds like a great idea to me.
