BioLogic washer - how does it work?

November 11, 2004 11:08 AM

At some trade show recently, Whirlpool showed a prototype washer called BioLogic that ("if feasible") relies on hydroponic plants to purify and reuse the water [pdf, p17]. So, are there any users out there who go to Kitchen and Bath trade shows, and know more details about how this works? Alternate question for hydroponics enthusiasts: What kind of plants are those in the washer?

It is probably conceptually similar to the wetlands sweage treatment concept.
