A shower wastewater recycling system is investigated for potential military use under conditions of limited water supply. Results are reported for laboratory tests on the proposed system. Parameters measured in the tests include those specified by the Office of the Surgeon General (OTSG) in the Interim Quality Criteria for direct reuse of water as well as several others of concern. The laboratory test results show that the wastewater recycling system merits further investigation and development. The proposed system is compatible with existing Army facilities and equipment and is portable. Wastewater can be treated to a quality meeting OTSG standards. Several recycles are possible, with 85 percent of the wastewater recoverable for reuse. No harmful contaminants were detected in any of the test samples. Keywords: shower facilities, waste water, water reclamation.
