Positively Innovative Sink Reduces Water Use, Simplifies Greywater

Just when you thought people may have thought of everything, Environmental Designworks has come out with something that's pretty ingenious. They call it SinkPositive, and it's a retrofit to your existing toilet. It replaces the tank lid and uses the water coming in to fill the bowl after flushing for handwashing.

SinkPositive saves beaucoup gallons of water and ensures potable water isn't wasted on flushing. Yeah, pretty ingenious.

The faucet is motion activated and runs until the bowl has refilled. The small amount of soap used for hand washing doesn't interfere with toilet function - and may actually serve to freshen the bowl a bit. Check out the video below for more about how the new gizmo installs and operates.

We haven't seen a SinkPositive in action ourselves yet, but it is good to know people keep thinking outside the box when it comes to efficient use of water. That we know we can get behind.
