2. Water recycling shower - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_recycling_shower

   In 2013, the Swedish company Orbital Systems introduces their first shower, the launching company being a spinoff from a NASA internship. [6] It comprises a closed-loop system where the water is purified using a replaceable filter. These filter out particulate matter and microbes from drain water before sending the water back through the head. [7]

   In the U.S., every plumbing fixture must also be coupled to the system's vent piping. [1] Without a vent, negative pressure can slow the flow of water leaving the system, resulting in clogs, or cause siphonage to empty a trap. The high point of the vent system (the top of its "soil stack") must be open to the exterior at atmospheric pressure.
