I bet you never pictured this in your bathroom. The WashUP concept puts a washing machine directly on top of your toilet. The idea here is recycling. No one really cares where the water that you use for flushing comes from, after all. When the washing cycle is complete, the water that just cleaned your clothes is stored in a reservoir where it will be used again to flush the toilet. It’s a pretty ingenious way to conserve water and get twice the use out of a given amount.
One selling point is that the washing machine is higher off the ground, so it’s easier on your back as you load and unload clothing. Plus, this is good for apartment dwellers who don’t have room for a typical washing machine. I assume it can’t back up and filth up your clothes.

howabout, somewhere behind the scenes, the water is stored, and used for flushing, while still allowing the washing machine and toilet to be in separate rooms.
i don’t like the idea of having them so close to the toilet. especially since socks would inevitably always fall into the toilet when pulling them out.

japan has something not that different you wash your hands with the same water that you flush with after.
Great idea infact I was thinking along the lines myself on the fact I could use the water from my machine to flush my toilet and also some how collect the rain water filtered down into the washing machine that too would be a added bonus.
my guess is tho only the rich would be able to aford a system that would do this in there homes! and us poor again are still kick in the teath with the rising fule prices and water charges…
OK when it comes to us all helping to save our planet the poor would have to just sick to the traditional ways of washing as we all know design like this dont come cheap enough for everone to aford
