Cool Concepts: The Washing Machine Toilet

Washing Machine Toilet

The average washing machine uses 150 liters of water as it goes through its various cycles, at the end of which all the wasted water flows away down the drain. That is a lot of water to waste, a situation that WashUp is intended to resolve.

It makes perfect sense to recycle the water left over from a wash cycle to flush the toilet. Water is stored in the toilet flush tank until needed to flush the toilet. The actual washing unit is attached to the wall above the toilet – dare I say, flush to the wall?

The sitting of the WashUp has its own advantage and one which would be of considerable benefit to people who have mobility problems and find it painful or difficult to bend down: the washing machine is actually set at eye level.

This ingenious concept that Sevin Coskun designed is simple to operate via two flushing buttons and three semi-spherical control units. The WashUp is a practical, space-saving and eco-friendly solution to small space living and one that might well catch on in the future.
