Publication number: 20180280880Abstract: A Device which can salvage the waste water from Reverse Osmosis Water Filter up to 100%, in others words, “Zero Waste”, without using electricity and electrical pump, and regardless of whether hot water pipeline and hot water tank are available. It channels the waste water into the cold water pipeline. This Device can be utilized in new Reverse Osmosis Water Filters and existing Reverse Osmosis Water Filter units. This Device consists of two components, a water tank and a special gadget. The special gadget is installed inside the water tank and is not exposed to external view. The water tank can be of various sizes to suit usage requirement. The Device is connected to the outlet of the said waste water outlet, the pipeline Inflow and the outflow to the faucet. The water tank is for receiving and storing the waste water and the special gadget is for salvaging and channelling the waste water to the faucet outlet, when the faucet is turned on, thereby salvaging the waste water.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2015Publication date: October 4, 2018Inventor: Tsia Yong LIM
