Water enters the home between 5-12ºC and is heated to 50ºC in the hot water tank. Showerhead temperature is approximately 41ºC and this water is flushed down the drain at 37ºC.
This energy can be brought back into your home to substantially reduce hot water heating costs. The watercycle™ is a drain waste heat exchanger which will heat water coming into your home by 12ºC using the energy from water being flushed down the drain.
Watercycles™ Energy Recovery Inc. is a prize winning company selected to provide the drain waste heat exchanger for the drain in the Factor 9 home currently being built in Regina, SK.
