Toilet

Daily Mail:

Next time you see a dog lapping thirstily at a toilet bowl, pause for thought – next time, it could be you.

A new invention – funded by Bill Gates – aims to turn used toilet water into drinking water.

Manchester University’s Sarah Haigh is an expert in nanotechnology – the science of manipulating atoms in matter – and says, it could make waste water from toilets safe to drink.

    Gee, that’s a “no brainer”!!! I can too! Take toilet water and run it thru my special ceramic filter that is used world-wide by the Peace Corp. to filter gutter water into drinkable water!!!
    Why not invest into a small Mom ‘N Pop business, that invented a patented/tradmarked rain gutter cleaning attachment tool for safer, faster, cleaner, and easier method allowing homeowners and general cleaning companies to clean out stagnant water, dangerous contaminants and allergens, at the same time from the ground???
    Helping prevent the potential of fires, deadly mosquitoes, insects, and virus from being breathed-in by the users or blown into the environment.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated my thousands across the USA, Canada, and I can even see it being provided world-wide! What an investment to keep PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD safe!!!!

    Any way to create more drinkable water on Earth, for use also in growing and cultivation..is worth exploring. Let’s put our ‘ewww’ reflex aside and look at the practical aspect. Sounds workable to me!

    We’ve been doing it for many years in Singapore. You can buy it bottled as “New Water”, but there is no need, as it is blended in with the normal treated reservoir water as part of the water supply system.
    Not exactly new technology either, it’s just reverse osmosis.
    Making it cost-effective is the hard part
