Q: Can you get the recovered heat back to a storage tank?

Not really - the temperatures are pretty low. We are heating water from ~10°C to 20 - 25°C. That said, you can preheat the CW feed to your thermal store.

Q: Do you need a special thermostat on the shower, or do you turn it down manually as it warms up?

A normal thermostatic mixer valve should take care of it all without any user intervention.

Q: Will we need one application per shower?

It's possible to run more than one shower off of each unit but it will depend on the layout of the building in respect to where the showers are located. Talk to us and we can advise.

Q: Does this have any impact on Legionella safety due to drop in required water temperature?

The short answer is no: The temperatures that the cold water is preheated to are below the Legionella growth range. There is no hold up of any water in troughs or tanks - it is constantly exchanging heat then going to drain. There is no residual hold up of waste water in the Zypho unit as it has a built in angle to drain out. Provided it has been installed with a spirit level as per instructions, no stagnant water can ever build up.

Q: Is the coil open to the elements and can it clog with debris ?

Q: How easy is it to install a horizontal Zypho under a bath or shower?

Our demonstration video on the website will show that anyone familiar with basic plumbing could, potentially, fit it but certainly any plumber. Unlike a lot of energy saving technology, they do not require expensive specialist labour to install. [/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
