Energy recovery from bathtubs?

The operating principle of the solution is that the energy in the continuous flow of used hot shower water (gray water) is heat exchanged with the continuously incoming cold water on its way to the shower mixer during showering. According to independent studies, this operating principle provides the best possible conditions for highly efficient energy recovery from shower and gray water.  

Thus, connecting a bathtub shower to the Enduce floor drain will work, provided you can access and open the floor drain strainer for cleaning. However, if no cold water is used by the shower mixer, no energy can be recovered when draining the bathtub water.

More from the knowledge bank

The design of the shower area and the location of the ventilation system play a major role in shower comfort, bathroom climate and, not least, energy efficiency.  
According to Boverket, the contribution of energy-saving technologies to improving energy performance may be included in the calculations based on the demonstrated energy savings of the technology.
Enduce does not reduce water consumption overall, but hot water consumption does. The resource saving lies mainly in the energy and not in the water.
