Can wastewater heat recovery reduce hot-water cylinder size?
Potentially. When included early in the design and energy-modelling process, reduced hot-water demand may support the specification of a smaller [...]
Can shower heat recovery be used with a heat pump?
Yes. By reducing the energy required for showering, wastewater heat recovery can reduce the domestic hot-water load placed on a [...]
What is wastewater heat recovery?
Wastewater heat recovery captures heat from warm shower water and transfers it to the incoming cold-water supply, reducing the energy [...]
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, [...]
Do you need a special thermostat on the shower?
A normal thermostatic mixer valve should take care of it all without any user intervention.
Can the coil become clogged with debris?
The coil is open for maximum heat transference, but due to our customised filter in the drain sump, debris [...]
