Crazy inventions to save water
Discover ten creative devices that help save water
There are already many ideas to help save water. Even though some are a little crazy, they have proven efficiency, but most have not yet been put into practice. Below is a list of unusual and crazy water-saving inventions:
1. Private washing machine
A washing machine inside the bathroom. The water wasted when washing clothes is reused in the toilet later. A sustainable water device concept.
2. Drinking umbrella
The “Filterbrella” is an innovative and sustainable umbrella, with a plastic cover and a hollow carbon filter in its handle. The cable receives rainwater, which is purified by activated carbon. Water flows into a bottle attached to the Filterbrella's handle, producing clean water while you're walking.
3. Reusing sink
Hughie Of Australia invented a kitchen sink that stores the water that would go into the sewer and saves 80% of the water. Thus, this dirty water that can be reused for watering plants if it has not been mixed with detergent. If there is a mixture, it can be used to wash cars, for example.
4. Shower washing machine
A washing machine combined with shower. “Wash it” allows users to wet their clothes while taking a shower. With a single pump system, the shower gives clothes their first rinse. Contrary to what it may seem, it is not unhygienic as it is only the device's first wash cycle. The system is expected to produce about 150 liters of water for a 15-minute bath and the 38 liters used in a wash cycle.
5. Urinal with faucet
A simple idea: combine two essential items of a bathroom. The water from the sink is reused to flush the toilet. An opaque and frosted glass hides the secondary function of the device. The result is a reuse system that saves space, piping and water.
6. Wild bathroom
The shower called Phyto-Purification Bathroom uses a natural filtration system that mixes a modern design with a mini ecosystem capable of recycling and regenerating water. A hydraulic wastewater system is channeled through a collection of plants, which kick-start a phyto-purification process. Plants clean the water where heavy metals and bacteria are completely removed. A device that not only conserves water but also produces additional oxygen.
7. Double vase
Keep2Green by Paul Gribincea is quite simple: the device makes full use of space and water by planting some grass under the hanging pot. Made of metal, the vase is heavy to withstand moderate winds and holds the flower vase in the air.
8. Natural Sink
A sink that uses waste water to water a small garden or plant.
9. Green bath
Thinking of people who need or want to sit while taking a shower. The bank's gaps convey water to storage jars that can be reused for watering plants.
10. Bath hose
The so-called Ban Beater is a siphon with connected hoses that suck up all the dirty water from a bath. Inventor Dominic Flinton says that a simple pull is enough to fill the hose. Then, recycled water can be used to water plants or wash cars. Flinton was inspired by the drought years in England to create the device that allowed him to water his garden for years.
