Refresher

A  Refresher is an all-purpose Consortium produced appliance that provides clean water and recyclical conversion of all types of human waste in all states of matter and energy. It runs on a loop cycle that approaches 99% efficiency. While it doesn't violate the laws of thermodynmanics, the loss of energy over time due to entropy is neglibible on a scale of millions of years. 
A spacer or grounder armed with nothing more than a vacsuit and a refresher can survive indefinitely in vacuum so long as both remain in continuous working order and they were in healthy condition to begin with.
