Energy and water

Lylo

 Lylo has created Aqua X – a product helping students wash their laundry using less water than a normal washing machine. Water is collected in a removable water tank, which can be placed on the shower floor like a mat. Once you have finished showering, you reattach the tank to the base. The machine filters the water and uses it to wash your clothes.
