Designer Peter Brewin promises water and energy savings
A shower which recycles water promises to save householders money and energy.

The idea is the brainchild of Peter Brewin, a design student at the UK’s Royal College of Art.

The system re-circulates and cleans used water, with the potential to save families around £170 each year.

If Londoners were to jump in the eco-friendly shower, it would reduce the capital’s water usage by 85 billion litres each year – the equivalent of 85,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

The shower works on similar principles to a Dyson vacuum cleaner, using filters and hydro cyclones, installed behind the shower unit, to clean the recycled water and reheat it to the desired temperature.
