Going green also means saving water. Do you know that we use around 150 litres of water for a washing machine ? After that, the water will go down the drain just like that, when we actually can reuse it. “Washup” is a conceptual design integrating washing machine with toilette-flush. It suggests a sustainable water consumption by storing the wasted water in toilette-flush tank and reuse it with flushing. Moreover, “washup” brings a solution for the problem of location of washing machines in small bathrooms, overlapping washing machine usage space with toilette usage space. It is fixed on wall upwards toilette, so that loading of clothes would be easier for the user without bending or crouching. A special interface including three semi-sphere control units & two flushing buttons is designed for a practical usage of the product. “Washup” is a green product offering solutions for the problems of standard washing machines.

This water reuse system concept is to divide our daily water and reuse it, consisting of two reservoirs, we can direct the water to a chosen reservoir and use it later just by simple touch, for e.g. : to water the plants. Each time a different water direction is selected; a valve mechanism opens the selected pipe and closes the remaining two. When the reservoirs are full, all water is directed to the global sewer system. The reservoirs can be replaced by empty ones, but only two can be attached to the basin at a time.

Flow Washbowl is an ergonomically designed washbowl for the washing of feet. Flow Washbowl?s ergonomic design brings new ease to the washing of feet. The height and width of the foot-washing basin have been taken into consideration in the design, such that they correspond to the anthropometry of the user for this function. A built-in sensor regulates the water temperature, allowing the user to set it to a preferred temperature.
