This is a system in California which takes toilet water filtering to the extream. Although very unaffectionatly called 'toilet to tap' it is still an interesting concept. However would it work in Britain ? Could it be done on a larger scale ? Does it nessicarily have to be a toilet to tap why can it not work in a life cycle sysem where it starts at tap and progresses down to toilet via in house filtering and then toilet going for proper filtering afterwards ?
