White Water* filtration system

White Water*
White Water* is a water filtration system unlike any other.
Situated underneath the bathroom sink in a vanity cupboard or as a stand-alone unit, White Water* is designed to utilize grey water. The water that is used for brushing our teeth, washing our hands and cleaning our faces is often left to run and considered waste once it exits the plug hole. White Water* collects this water, filters it using three sustainable filters and makes it reusable for other purposes around the house. The filters used are specifically chosen for their filtering capabilities and sequenced to produce the purest water possible, even capable of being drank. 
Once the large capacity reservoir is partially or completely full, a separate tap in the style of a beer tap allows the filtered water to be dispensed via an energy efficient electric pump.By dispensing the water in such a way, the seriousness of the topic that is water conservation can be tackled in a quirky and playful way, making it fun for people of all ages to interact with. 


By reducing water wastage, stress on the environment for further water needs is also reduced.
Designed to be used in ‘new build’ environments or integrated into existing houses, consumers on a budget or with low income can save money by reducing their water bill. This is particularly beneficial for those on water meters.
Through utilizing the space of a vanity cupboard, distasteful pipe work and stored items such as chemical bottles are hidden and managed, to provide an aesthetically pleasing and minimalist finish to a complex system.


“THE KEY TO WATER EFFICIENCY IS REDUCING WASTE, NOT RESTRICTING USE”

The product housed within a bathroom vanity cupboard. 
Greywater undergoes a series of filtration methods and operations before being pumped back up to the sink for use by the consumer. 
Designed to use as little the number of components as possible, White Water* can easily be constructed and maintained by the user. 
A sustainable drinks bottle made from glass and cork helps promote White Water* as a brand as well as a product trying to tackle a large social, economical and environmental issue very much present in today's society.
