WASD -- Water Saving Device

TL;DR

WASD is an automatic, cost-effective water recycling system that reuses sink water for toilet flushing, promoting sustainable water use in homes.

Contribution

It introduces a simple sensor-based device that efficiently separates and redirects clean sink water for toilet flushing, reducing costs and maintenance compared to existing solutions.

Findings

Successfully detects and redirects clean sink water in real-time.

Reduces household water consumption by reusing sink water.

Offers a low-cost, easy-to-install alternative to complex water recycling systems.

Abstract

In response to escalating global drinking water scarcity we propose an innovative, automatic system for reusing clean sink water to flush toilets. Existing solutions for water recycle in the houses involve purifiers and complex treatments, leading to high costs and constant maintenance. WASD, utilizing sensors and a solenoid valve, rapidly detects and separates clean water, directing it to toilet tank while sending non-reusable water to the drain. This cost-effective and user-friendly approach aims to establish sustainable water practices in domestic settings, contributing to solve the shortage of drinking water.
