How it works
Design is how it works
The WWHRS Shower Tray’s integrated heat exchanger improves energy efficiency, reduces CO2 emissions, and contributes to cost savings. Without Changing Your Showering Habits!
The WWHRS Shower Tray operates like a traditional shower tray, but it incorporates a special device called heat exchanger. This innovative feature allows the shower tray to capture the heat from the outgoing showering water (waste water) as it drains from the shower.
The captured heat is then transferred to the incoming cold water supply, effectively preheating the water before it reaches the shower mixer. This preheated water supply offers several advantages. First, it reduces the demand for hot water from your boiler or water heater. Since the cold water is already partially heated, less energy is required to bring it to the desired temperature, resulting in energy savings.

Compliance with EN 1717 Standards
Our Waste Water Heat Recovery System (WWHSR) is designed and in full compliance with the EN 1717 standards, ensuring the highest levels of safety and efficiency.
Designed for Category 2 and 3 Fluids:
Our WWHSR is specifically designed to handle Category 2 and 3 fluids. These fluids are classified as posing a slight to moderate health risk but do not involve hazardous substances.
Safe and Secure Installation:
The system is installed in a clean area within the shower, prior to the siphon, ensuring it is not exposed to any potentially hazardous environments such as gases or liquids from sewage systems. This installation method guarantees that the WWHSR only interacts with clean shower water, maintaining a safe environment for heat recovery.
Robust Single-Wall Construction:
In accordance with EN 1717 standards (Article 5.3.2 and Article 5.4.1.1), our WWHSR uses a single-wall heat exchanger as the system is not exposed to environments that could pose a higher risk of contamination. Additionally, a membrane valve is also available to prevent backflow siphonage, ensuring the protection of the potable water supply.
Ease of Access for Maintenance:
The system includes a lightweight (2kg) lid that can be easily lifted, providing straightforward access to the heat exchanger. This feature allows for quick and efficient inspection and cleaning, further ensuring the system’s safe operation and longevity.
By adhering to these stringent standards and design principles, our WWHSR not only enhances energy efficiency but also ensures the highest levels of safety and compliance with applicable norms from Europe, UK, USA, Canada, and several other countries.

Heat Recovery: The shower tray incorporates a heat exchanger that captures the heat from the outgoing grey water (waste water) as it drains from the shower. This captured heat is then transferred to the incoming cold water supply.
Preheated Water Supply: By preheating the cold water with the recovered heat, the WWHRS Shower Tray reduces the demand for hot water from your boiler or water heater. This means that less energy is needed to heat the water to the desired temperature, resulting in energy savings.
Reduced Boiler Usage: With the preheated water supply, your boiler or water heater doesn’t have to work as hard to reach the desired temperature, thereby reducing its energy consumption. This leads to lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint. By preheating the incoming cold water supply with the recovered heat, the WWHRS Shower Tray reduces the amount of work your boiler or water heater needs to do to reach the desired temperature. This means that your boiler operates less frequently, leading to reduced wear and tear on its components.
Lower Strain on the Boiler: With the preheated water supply, your boiler operates more efficiently and experiences less strain during the heating process. This can result in a longer lifespan for your boiler, as it is subjected to less frequent and intense heating cycles.
Decreased Maintenance and Repair Costs: As your boiler operates less frequently and under reduced strain, it is less likely to encounter issues or require frequent maintenance and repairs. This can save you money on maintenance and repair costs over the long term
