Reduce Your Home Energy Costs With
Drain-water Heat Recovery
Save Up To 40% Of Your Water Heating Cost
Of all the energy we use in our homes, 10 to 20% goes to heat water. Typically, 80-90% of that energy goes right down the drain in the wastewater.
In my quest for technology to make my home more energy efficient, I’ve discovered an ingenious appliance that can capture that heat energy and use it to preheat the incoming cold water going to your water heater using a process known as drain-water heat recovery (DWHR).
How Does Drain-water Heat Recovery Work?
 Watercycle™ is a water-to-water heat exchanger that replaces a section of drain pipe and recovers valuable heat from the wastewater as it goes down the drain.
I love the simplicity of this appliance.
It’s just a solid copper section of drain pipe with the incoming cold water line coiled tightly around it.
As the cold water passes through the coil on its way to the hot water heater, it absorbs heat from the hot water going down the drain.
Presto! The cold water entering the hot water heater is 12-14°C warmer than it would have been otherwise.
Works with any type of water heater.
Benefits of Drain-water Heat Recovery
- Save 20% to 40% of your water heating cost (5% - 10% of your home energy cost)
- Grants are available in Canada and the US (Click here for details)
- Extend the life of your hot water heater
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions with lower energy consumption
- Increase efficiency of your tankless water heater
- Increase efficiency of your geothermal system
- Extend number of days your solar system can provide hot water without backup
- No more running out of hot water while you shower
- Depending on the unit you choose and your water use habits, your Watercycle™ will pay for itself in 2 to 5 years.
