Abstract:
The present invention describes a hybrid device ( 1 ) for a recirculation shower, allowing purification and either recycling of water or discarding of water, wherein said hybrid device ( 1 ) comprises a recirculation loop ( 2 ), a filter system ( 4 ) with a nano-filter ( 5 ) such as for instance an electropositive nano-ceramic filter, e.g. a nano alumina (fiber) filter, at least one filter quality sensor ( 3 ), at least one pre-filter ( 6 ), and wherein the hybrid device ( 1 ) is arranged to redirect the water from recirculation to drainage when the at least one filter quality sensor ( 3 ) indicates the need thereof.

Claim (Index 1):
A hybrid device, which is a shower that is adapted to function both as a recirculation shower and as an ordinary shower, and allows purification and either recycling of water or discarding of water, wherein said hybrid device comprises a recirculation loop which facilitates recirculation of water within said hybrid device, and also comprises:\n a filter system with a nano-filter and at least one filter quality sensor, and at least one pre-filter, the pre-filter being positioned before the nano-filter in process terms, and the filter quality sensor being adapted to indicate that the filter system is operating as desired; at least one water quality sensor, a modified drain, which is adapted to collect the water used and to facilitate the stream of water used towards the recycling loop and filter system, so that water can be purified and recirculated, or towards drainage; wherein the hybrid device is arranged so that: it can operate in a recirculation mode providing purification and recirculation of water, until the water passing through said hybrid device is at a pre-determined maximum level of contaminants; when any of said sensors is indicating the need to do so, and in particular when the at least one water quality sensor indicates that the water is contaminated above said pre-determined maximum level of contaminants, the same water is redirected from recirculation to drainage and is discarded from the hybrid device.
