About This Project
Overview, mission & core vision
Overview

AquaSave is an AI-controlled smart shower system that captures, filters and recycles up to 70% of shower water in real time through a closed-loop purification unit — dramatically cutting household water consumption and utility bills with zero compromise on shower experience.

🚀
�� Problem
A single shower uses 60–80 litres of clean water — globally 10 billion showers are taken daily, wasting 700 billion litres of treated drinking water. Hyderabad faces severe water scarcity with supply cut to alternate days in many zones
⚡
�� Solution
AquaSave captures shower water at the drain, runs it through 4-stage nano-filtration in under 4 seconds and reinjects it at shower temperature — saving 56 litres per shower
🤖
�� Market
$12.4B global water conservation technology market growing at 9.2% CAGR — home water recycling is an emerging Rs.4,200Cr market in India alone
🌿
�� Traction
28 pilot installations across residential apartments in Hyderabad — average water saving of 64% measured over 6-month trial, Rs.2,400 average monthly bill reduction per household
🎯
�� Revenue Model
Rs.85,000 installation unit sale + Rs.800/month AquaFilter subscription for replacement nano-filter cartridges delivered to door every 3 months
🔒
�� Use of Funds
40% manufacturing scale-up, 30% filtration technology patents, 20% plumber partner network, 10% water quality certifications
🔧
Features
Core capabilities & functionalities
6 Features
✓
4-Stage Nano-Filtration in 4 Seconds
Captured shower water passes through sediment pre-filter, activated carbon filter, nano-membrane filter and UV sterilisation in under 4 seconds — exiting cleaner than municipal tap water before being recirculated
✓
Real-Time Temperature Matching
AI thermostat reads recycled water temperature and heats or cools it to match your set shower temperature within 0.5°C before reinjection — zero cold water surprises during recycling cycle
✓
Live Water & Cost Savings Display
Waterproof display panel in shower shows litres saved, money saved and CO2 emissions avoided in real time during every shower — gamified monthly challenges in the app
✓
Automatic Filter Health Monitoring
AI monitors filter performance across all 4 stages continuously — alerts you when nano-membrane efficiency drops below 95% and automatically orders replacement cartridge if on subscription
✓
Water Quality Sensor Dashboard
Six embedded sensors measure pH, turbidity, TDS, bacteria count, temperature and flow rate every second — full water quality report available in app after every shower
✓
30-Minute DIY Installation
AquaSave connects to existing shower drain and water supply lines using standard plumbing fittings — no wall breaking, no tiles removed, installs under the shower tray in 30 minutes with included toolkit
✦
Key Advantages
Why this project stands out
6 Advantages
⚠️
Predicts Failure 72 Hours Early
Vibration, current and temperature analysis detects developing faults in motors, cables, brakes and doors 72 hours before breakdown — maintenance team replaces failing component during scheduled downtime instead of responding to a breakdown with passengers trapped
🛗
Zero Passenger Entrapment
Pilot buildings using LiftLog reported zero passenger entrapment incidents over 18 months versus industry average of 2.3 entrapments per lift per year — most impactful safety metric for residential society facility managers and liability insurers
📊
Compliance Certificates Auto-Generated
LiftLog generates IS 14665 statutory inspection data automatically — maintenance records, safety check logs and performance metrics formatted for lift inspector submission, reducing compliance documentation effort from 4 hours to 4 minutes per inspection
🔧
Clamps On Without Stopping Lift
All LiftLog sensors install on existing cable, motor and door mechanism externally — no lift shutdown required for installation. Full sensor suite fitted and live within 4 hours of installation team arrival with residents using the lift throughout
💰
Reduces Maintenance Cost by 45%
Predictive maintenance replaces scheduled maintenance — parts replaced only when wear is detected, not on calendar schedule. Pilot buildings reduced annual lift maintenance expenditure by 45% while improving reliability and safety simultaneously
🏢
Multi-Lift Building Dashboard
Building manager app shows health status of all lifts simultaneously — colour-coded risk dashboard, upcoming maintenance schedule, energy consumption per lift and month-on-month reliability trend for AMC renewal negotiations
🗺
How It Works
Step-by-step process & workflow
6 Steps
01
Schedule Installation
Book certified AquaSave plumber through app — installation team arrives with all components, tools and waterproofing materials. Assessment and installation takes under 30 minutes
02
System Connects Under Tray
AquaSave compact unit (45x35x20cm) sits under shower tray connecting to existing drain outlet and cold water inlet line — no tiles touched, no walls opened, fully concealed
03
App Setup & Preferences
Download AquaSave app, connect to home WiFi and set your shower preferences — temperature, pressure, recycling intensity level and monthly saving goal
04
Shower Normally
Turn on shower as usual — AquaSave activates automatically when it detects water flow. Recycling begins silently 8 seconds into shower after initial rinse water is discarded
05
Watch Savings in Real Time
In-shower display shows litres saved ticking up in real time — gamified challenges keep family motivated to take shorter showers and maximise savings
06
Auto Filter Subscription
AquaSave monitors filter health automatically — replacement nano-cartridge arrives at your door before old one expires. Install in 5 minutes by clicking new cartridge into slot

Evaluating a cleantech pre-order

Cleantech and sustainability products usually depend on throughput and unit economics rather than a single feature. Look for measured performance figures, the conditions those figures were taken under, and whether the product needs permits or utility approval to operate where you are.

About IDEA

IDEA is an India-based marketplace where inventors launch AI, robotics and deep-tech products through pre-orders and bookings. It is operated by 3D-LABS Engineering, an engineering firm in business since 2003. Inventors publish a project with specifications, pricing and delivery expectations, and buyers reserve units before general availability.

Questions about this project

How do I pre-order AquaSave — AI Smart Shower System that Recycles Water?

Create a free account on IDEA, open this project page and choose the pre-order or booking option shown for it. The page states the deposit due now and the balance due before delivery.

What is the difference between a pre-order and a booking?

A pre-order locks the price shown on the page and takes a deposit against that price. A booking reserves a unit where the final price is not fixed yet, so the balance is calculated when the product is ready. Each project page states which options the inventor has enabled.

When will the product be delivered?

Delivery expectations are set by the inventor and shown on this page. Deep-tech and hardware products often move slower than software, so treat the published window as the inventor current estimate rather than a guarantee.

How are payments handled on IDEA?

Payments run through the platform payment gateways rather than directly to the inventor, and the platform fee is shown separately at checkout. Read the refund policy before paying, because refund terms depend on the stage the project has reached.

Can I contact the inventor before I pay?

Yes. Each project page carries the creator details and a contact route, and the support page can escalate a question if the inventor does not respond.

What category does AquaSave — AI Smart Shower System that Recycles Water belong to?

This project is listed under CleanTech. Browsing the same category is a quick way to compare delivery timelines and deposit structures across similar products.

What is the funding target for AquaSave — AI Smart Shower System that Recycles Water?

The inventor has published a funding target of ₹42 L for this project. The target is the amount the inventor is seeking, not an amount already committed.
