Instant hot water by storing heat from the previous usage inside the tap
We've all been there: we turn on the shower, only to be greeted by a flow of cold water. On average people wait a full minute before stepping into the shower. It's more than an inconvenience. Have you ever realized that the average person wastes 4000 liters and 110kWh of energy annually this way? Heau creates next-generation taps with instant hot water. Our patented technology stores heat from your previous usage inside the tap. The next time you turn on the tap the stored energy releases, providing your desired temperature from the first moment. This is possible with a unique combination of thermal storage and self-regulating hydraulical valves and award-winning designs.
