From Belgium
Maturity stage TRL 9 / CRI 3-4 - Commercial Scale Up / Multiple commercial Applications

The Zypho Shower Wastewater Heat Recovery system efficiently captures heat from shower wastewater, with temperatures around 40ºC, and transfers it to the incoming cold mains supply, typically at 10ºC. This process preheats the water to approximately 33ºC, which can then be supplied to either the shower mixer, the water heater, or ideally both, resulting in a substantial decrease in energy consumption.

The Environmental Benefits

  • The shower water heat is used to preheat the incoming fresh water with up to 16° temperature differential after a preheat
  • Zypho system requires no maintenance, power, or battery
  • It has an expected lifespan of 50 years
  • Zypho system is a passive solution that requires no maintenance, power, or battery and no replacement parts
  • Reduced energy consumption and CO2 emissions up to 75%

The Financial Benefits

  • Every three showers, two are for free
  • Long term financial savings, less than 3 years payback time
