A drain water heat recovery unit can help keep the water hot for longer, and bring you savings on your water heating costs. Durable, practical and maintenance-free, a drain water heat recovery unit is recommended for homes in which showering represents a significant portion of the hot water consumption, or the existing water heater has difficulty in keeping up with demand.
Purchase this new technology and get a $200 rebate from Gazifère.
How does it work?
When you shower, a large quantity of hot water goes down the drain. Installing a heat recovery unit enables you to recover some of the heat from the waste water, which is used to pre-heat the cold water flowing into your water heater. As a result, the heater gets more water up to the desired temperature more quickly, while using less energy.
What does it look like?
The recovery unit consists of a section of copper drainpipe wrapped in copper coils. Cold water from the main flows through the coils, absorbing heat from the shower water flowing down the drain. This pre-heats it from 9°C to 26°C before it flows directly into the water heater, or to the cold side of the shower faucet.
Where can I get one?
