How do you recyle water in a space station up in space?
On the International Space Station, the vast majority of water is recycled. Water is expensive to transport into space, so it is vital that every last drop be conserved. Water is recycled from a variety of sources, such as: the sink, shower, space suit wastewater (Each space suit uses tubes full of cold water to cool astronauts while they are on EVA), water from heating and cooling systems, moisture in the air (Exhaled by astronauts and lab animals), the Space Shuttle's fuel cells (The fuel cells convert oxygen and hydrogen into water to produce power), and even from the urine of astronauts and lab animals.The water is purified through a rigorous process that is even more efficient than sewage treatment plants so that it can be used again. Some water is lost through the airlock, carbon dioxide removal systems, and oxygen generation systems, although at least 95% of the water onboard the space station is reused. Every once in a while, new water is brought to the space station onboard the Space Shuttle or through Russian Progress Resupply ships.they recycle the water thru a machine by filtering water 5 times a minute for an hour

How does a spacestation get water?
A space station gets water from shuttles that are launched into space. i do believe that used water is also recycled though i am not sure if this is correct.
