Q: Can a water purifier purify pee?

pee is about 95% sterile water, but that other 5% is a noxious brew of waste material that your body is trying to expel. Putting it back inside is, well, just wrong. And your water purifier, though designed to remove bacteria, viruses, and protozoans, it won’t remove the concentrated nitrogen, potassium, and calcium that exists in pee.
