There is also a washing/dryer machine and a water filtration system for canal water (with 4 filters and UV sterilisation) that can produce approximately 1000 litres per hour for domestic use (toilet, etc.). For drinking water, there is a "PurePro" reverse osmosis water purifier connected to the freshwater tank.
