Primary Functions
๐Ÿ’ง

Contained Rinse Zone

Sealed basin and shroud contain water during use, preventing free-floating droplets and contamination.

โ†ป

Water Recovery

Captured water is directed into filtration and reuse paths to minimize waste and resupply needs.

โ˜

Crew Interface

Intuitive controls, status indicators, and lighting support safe, efficient operation in microgravity.

Flow Path Architecture
๐Ÿšฐ

RINSE

Water flows in a controlled rinse within the sealed basin.

โ—‰

CAPTURE

Integrated shroud captures water and directs it to collection.

โ–ฅ

FILTRATION

Multi-stage filtration removes particulates and ensures water quality.

โ—’

STORAGE

Clean water is stored in a pressurized reservoir for system use.

โ†ป

RECIRCULATION

Water recirculates back to the system for reuse and sustainability.

Design Advantages
๐Ÿ›ก

Low Spill Risk

Sealed capture zones and directional flow minimize free droplets.

โœฆ

Easy Sanitation

Smooth surfaces and removable components support fast cleaning.

โ—ฑ

Compact Install

Integrated plumbing and a compact footprint simplify installation.
