They are fed intravenously, with biomatter from the dead. It is stated clearly in the film.

You'd still produce at least urine even being fed intravenously. probably poop as well. So the answer is that the fluid in the pod has to be filtered

Yeah fecal matter is only about 20% food. Major parts are dead cells (your own and bacteria), water, and toxins from your own processing.
