The little-known side of EcoCute
A little-known aspect of EcoCute is that it can be used as emergency water in emergencies.

Currently, approximately 400,000 units are installed each year, for a cumulative total of 6 million units.
In emergencies, drinking water is distributed at evacuation centers, but it is said that the most problematic thing is water needed for daily life, such as for toilets.
This works well because each household is stockpiled with 370L or 460L per day.
However, if you are not aware of this fact and do not know how to use it in an emergency, it will be a waste of a valuable resource.
It is recommended that you practice during normal times.
Another similar outlet that is widely available and useful in emergencies is the 100V outlet that comes as standard equipment on the latest fourth-generation Prius.
I read a comment from the developer that said that by making this standard equipment rather than optional on the best-selling Prius, they hoped that it would help in the event of a major earthquake in various regions, which is sure to occur in the future.
I thought it was a truly wonderful spirit.
