A new standard.
Our Enduce E1 energy recovery shower floor drain is simple, efficient and a real resource saver. The heat from used shower water is passed through a heat exchanger that preheats the cold water for the shower mixer, reducing energy and hot water consumption by up to three quarters. The Enduce E1 is unique in that it is passive (no electrical connections, pumps or replacement filters) combined with world-leading efficiency, making it incredibly cost-effective and robust. An integrated cleaning system prevents clogging in the heat exchanger.
Why Enduce E1?
The housing and real estate sector is the sector that uses the most energy globally. In Sweden, the housing and services sector accounts for 39% of final energy use.

In a modern home, hot water consumption accounts for as much as 40% of the total energy consumption for heating.
Source: Based on Boverket's energy consumption for hot water production 25 kWh/m2 and an energy performance of the building 62 kWh/m2.
The shower combines the hottest water flow on average with by far the longest duration for each tap. Most often, heated water goes straight down the drain with no energy recovery.

Resource consumption is mainly related to water heating rather than water consumption.

By placing the energy recovery unit in the shower, energy losses to the environment are minimized, providing the highest possible efficiency and amount of energy recovered.

Enduce E1 works passively without the need for replacement filters, electrical connections or pumps, making it robust, uncomplicated and very cost-effective. Materials are carefully selected to reduce climate impact. The plate heat exchanger offers world-leading efficiency compared to alternative solutions. In short - a new standard.
Enduce E1
Enduce technology reduces the power requirement for showering from 20 kW to around 6 kW. The energy in the used shower water preheats the cold water for the shower mixer, thereby reducing energy and hot water consumption by up to three quarters.
Saving energy and power:
- Efficiency 71-75 % (RISE 2022)
- Efficiency improvement 450 kWh/person year
- Energy performance improvement (BBR) 7-19 kWh/m2 Atemp
- Cuts power peaks up to 30 % (1h time base)
- Climate payback 0.2 - 3 years
- Economic return on investment approx. 4 - 23 % (1-5 dwellings, average use).

FAQ
Questions and answers
The Enduce E1 is robust and based on proven industrial technology adapted to modern bathrooms. The floor drain is designed according to Nordic building standards and has undergone the same tests as other products on the market.
Enduce has an immediate impact and is a long-term solution, which continues to pay off over time. In residential buildings, tap water is one of the biggest energy wasters - the heat goes straight down the drain. With Enduce, up to 75% is recovered, significantly reducing operating costs. For an apartment building, this can mean a reduction of over 10-15% for the entire property.
