    How to remedy the waste of water which occurs during the shower? A group of four university students from Turkey may have come up with the ideal solution to the problem. It is about Washit, a collection system for gray waters dispersed during the shower that can be used for laundry in washing machine.

    In fact, Washit appears to be able to unexpectedly bring together shower and washing machine, so that water is not wasted and can be reused for a useful purpose. Ahmet Burak Aktas, Adem Onalan, Salih Berk Ilhan and Burak Soylemez presented Washit as part of a school project, but now their innovative idea could be taken very seriously, having obtained a special award on the occasion of the iF Concept Design Award 2012, as part of the water saving.

    Washit sees the presence of two water pumps and of three filters for purification of the same, so that it can be used without problems for laundry. It is also composed of a collection tank for water, a heating system and a UV unit for purification of gray water.

    Washit will be able to collect the water that will reach the bottom of the shower and that will be accumulated in a special unit. The necessary water can be obtained from it for the next shower o to do the laundry in the washing machine. The group of students reflected on the waste of water that occurs daily in the bathrooms of the homes for carrying out normal washing and cleaning activities.
