Water on the Intl Space Station?

Question

how do they keep a supply of fresh water on the space station. i figure they probably take some up when they send a shuttle but do they have filters systems to recycle it?

Answer 1

It's recycled using a processor that collects humidity from the air (ie the crew's breath!).

There's info about living on the space station on the NASA website.

This: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/living/factsheets/water.html
is the one about water. There are plenty of others. They're a few years old now, but the basic information is what you're looking for.

Answer 2

yes. they have a filter system to recycle the waste water, yes, including toilet water.
