I am trying to create a spaceship, mainly using the excellent Atomic Rockets site. I am now at the stage of finding about the life support system. I figured the one on the ISS would be a pretty good benchmark for my needs. However I cannot seem to find any numbers on it. I need only the mass, volume, power requirements and performance of the water recycling and air filtration systems. So I was wondering if anyone here would either have these numbers or know where I can find them.

I think you will find this useful

It gives a lot of details on performance mass volume, but briefly scanning through I didn't see power requirements anywhere.
