Eco-aware shower recycles water

A shower which recycles water promises to save householders money and energy.

The idea is the brainchild of Peter Brewin, a design student at the UK's Royal College of Art.

The system re-circulates and cleans used water, with the potential to save families around £170 each year.

If Londoners were to jump in the eco-friendly shower, it would reduce the capital's water usage by 85 billion litres each year - the equivalent of 85,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
