Good morning,
Talk about recycling…how would you like to be able to
drink your shower water instead of pumping all of those
hundreds of gallons out to sewage treatment?
Eco-thinkers have come up with an amazing new way to create
drinking water – by putting plants in the bottom of a shower.
Thanks for reading,

Designers Jun Yasumoto, Vincent Vandenbrouk, Olivier Pigasse,
and Alban Le Henry came up with the concept when looking for
new ways to recycle precious H2O.
After you have washed in the special eco-shower unit the water
passes down into a series of physical filters and is treated
by plants such as reeds and rushes growing around your feet.
Yasumoto, 34, said: “These plants have been proven to be able
to remove the chemicals from your shampoo. Using a natural
filtering principle called phyto-purification, the bathroom
becomes a mini-eco-system by recycling and regenerating the
wastewater.”
The waste water passes into a chamber below the shower floor
where it goes through a maze of filters. Included in the net-
work is sand, reeds, rushes, a mesh filter, water hyacinths
and lemnas, and finally a carbon filter.
After posting their seven-year-old design on the internet,
the eggheads have been inundated with queries about where
their shower can be bought.
“No prototype has been made as the project is just a concept
for the moment,” Yasumoto said. “It has made us think we
should keep on developing this idea and start thinking of
ways to integrate it and bring it closer to reality.”
