the water on earth has been consummed by countless creatures and of course been urine at some point and through the earth, mud and becoming clouds is filtered from the toxins and returning to being fresh drinkingwater.

this machine does the same as what happens in nature only faster and more controlled

I do understand that most people don't like to think about this fact, and think that it's gross but all water on this earth is has-been-pee so there you have it

Its nothing new, here on Earth we drink our own and someone else's pee every day. Just think the next time you have a shower how many times your water has gone in and out of so many people.

I don't like the thought of drinking others pee. Could our Goverments filter this stuff from the rivers and the sea so we don't have to drink it ? It sounds like a dirty thing to do to drink others wee.
