Making our homes more sustainable is becoming increasingly important, and reducing energy consumption plays a crucial role. Recent research shows that approximately a quarter (25%) of the total gas consumption of an average household is used to heat water, of which more than 80% is used for showering. Much of which flows away down the drain.
A shower wastewater heat recovery system recovers heat from used shower water (wastewater) to pre-heat the incoming cold domestic water.
This means that less energy is needed to bring the water to the desired temperature, resulting in lower energy consumption and lower costs.
The principle is simple: as the warm waste water flows away, it transfers its heat to the cold domestic water via a heat exchanger. This process increases the temperature of the incoming cold water. Resulting in a lower load on the waterheater.
Conclusion
A shower heat recovery unit offers significant advantages in terms of energy savings, cost reduction on energy use, cost reduction on downsizing the DHW installation and reducing CO2 emission.
Installing a Recoup shower WWHR system is a relatively low investment with a short payback period.
Recoup offers various solutions to fit any bathroom. Whether a new build is concerned or a renovation and even when there is no wish to perform any re-construction, Recoup has a product meeting every single challenge.
