If you use more water than you absolutely need, for example by leaving a tap running or any other way, water is wasted regardless of what happens to it next. If the water is recycled, by filtering and reusing, there is still waste, because the filtration process and the circulation of the water will at some stage themselves use water. The waste is inherent in the system. A filter, even one with a very long life, or even a natural one like a reed bed, will need to be created, and this process will in some way use water and energy. So the more water is used, the more the the filter is used, and the more water is used. The same applies to the circulation system for the water, and its creation or manufacture. The more pipes and pumps and tanks get used the sooner they will wear out, need maintenance or replacement, and these processes will involve water use.
