NEW SHOWER WATER REUSE SYSTEM
Description
The system allows a large part of the shower water to be recovered in a simple way, to be used in the toilet. It does not require electricity, nor does it manually carry any weight. The system consists of a funnel specially designed to be attached to a bucket, in such a way that it maximizes the water that falls from the shower (it can also be used to collect rainwater). The accumulated water can be pumped into a reservoir above the toilet using a hand pump. The water in this upper tank can be used to fill up the water in the tank whenever the user wishes.
Advantages
The presented system does not require much force to be used and is cheap compared to other systems for the same purpose, although the price will depend a lot on the number of units that are manufactured. It allows you to save water in the shower, which implies economic savings, and an important ecological advantage in a climate crisis scenario in which we find ourselves.
Uses and Applications
The system is ideal for use in domestic homes, although it can also be used in hotel establishments. The funnel can also be used as a rainwater collection system for irrigation or other applications.
