We should have a water recommendation system in every home. Solar powered. A pump give you a 2hr shower of your life every day. Then that water passes through several filters until it ends up back in the Reservoir. So that way you don’t waste so much water daily.
Well, what if it was live? Like the first level would be sand with UV. Then a second level had snails eating dead skin and alleges processing nitrates. Then a fish pond. LOL yeah, well you’d be treating the water in situations. You wouldn’t want to use just any soap and such. It is possible but probably expensive or hard or both.

You’d be surprised…

Now you’re getting somewhere!
Skip the sand and the UV and the snails. Definitely skip the fish pond… You don’t want anything in your drain going into a body of water with large vertebrates in it. You don’t want animals to be involved in the filtration process at all.
You want plants. Plants, and bacteria. You want to inject the water into a large patch of vegetation and topsoil, where friendly little microbes will consume all the biologically active material, leaving the ground water to percolate through biologically inactive, mineral earth and back into a deep, underlying aquifer whence that water originally came.
You’re inventing a “septic system”.
You’ll want two tanks. The first will allow solid materials to settle. Anaerobic bacteria will act on solid biomatter, breaking much of it up into soluble effluent. The effluent at the surface overflows into a second tank, where more settling and more bacteria continue to decompose it. Next, the water from the surface of the second tank overflows into a leach field, where perforated pipes release it into topsoil. Here, decomposition switches from anaerobic to aerobic, and the process is similar to composting. The subsurface compost becomes fertilizer to surface vegetation, and the remaining water percolates into the ground water, and ultimately, the aquifer.
That’s called a sewage treatment plant, and it’s usually done at a large scale because it’s way more efficient that way. Would you want to install a grain mill in every house so people can grind their own flour? Would make a lot more sense to share one communally, no?
I don’t know about you but growing up we had our own grain grinder. I vividly recollect going to the market to find replacement stone wheels for it. Much has changed and the world is worse off now.

You’d waste more water on those filters than you’d reclaim.

Yes, clearly communal water treatment and grain processing are to blame for that, not our profit-driven economic system.
