-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daren Engler I have heard of a residence near Rochester someplace that is self contained. I guess they add water to the system to keep it at an operating level, but it recycles the water used for flushing, showering, dishes, etc. Within the house it has it's own "digester", but I understand that it filters the waste water and returns it to the main holding tank where it's cycled back through again. Incidentally, the drinking water comes from that same main holding tank. This info came from a U of M speaker ( I think), I'm sorry, I can't remember his name. This is from my memory, so I would warn you it's probably not entirely correct. Daren Engler -----Response----- That sounds like a system I helped design (a minor role: mechanical components and system diagram drafting ) back in the 70's when I lived in Colorado. We got it working and installed in some of the company founder's ( Howard "Binx" Selby ) mountain houses. The business, PureCycle, floundered due to water scarcity never becoming too much of a hindrance to building housing developments. I wrote about this a year or more ago in regards to bluff development. That's not what you are remembering, is it? John N.
