So this was described as a 'decentralized water recycling unit' -- can anyone inform me how decentralizing this service in the form of this appliance is going to be more efficient than large scale bulk wastewater treatment setups, like we have now (or do we)? As an outsider to the industry I don't know what the advantage is in localizing the water processing like this versus doing it all at scale in the same place then piping it back to customers. If it's the case that the water that drains from showers is not being recycled/reused currently, then I see how this makes sense, although I still wonder why doing that locally versus centrally is preferable.
