He said a patent has been applied for the product in India and Canada.
"The water is supplied into this machine with just a 5 mm inner dia hose. With conventional pipes used in our houses, water is enormously used. The water consumption can be reduced by 75 percent," he said.
The per month power consumption by the machine will be only five units, he added.
Not just limited to houses, this machine can also be used in restaurants, canteens, coffee, and tea shops, Krishnasamy said. (IANS)
