Default Grey Water Recycling

Yeah, but he was just starting to get the hang of tapdancing in 15/7 time....




It seems pretty clear that there are no grey water systems for small boats, though I've
wondered if it would be feasible to save shower water for deck washdown.


Sure. Between hi tech filters and organic processing systems, you can bypass the natural cycle
and make pure water from almost any kind of waste water. The problmm is that the system has to
be fairly large and uses up large amounts of energy (from a small boat perspective, not so
much from a civil engineering view point).

Every drop of water on this blue planet has at one point been ingested then excreted by some
living organism. Stop and think about how much biomass vs how much water, for how many
billions of years. Of course, if you believe in voodoo economics then maybe you'd believe in
voodoo ecology too.
