An energy-saving shower system that recycles residual heat from wastewater to preheat cold water, reducing energy needs and enhancing eco-friendly living in residential and commercial environments.
The high Environmental Impact of Daily Showers: Water and Energy Consumption
17.6B liters
of water are consumed daily for showers in Europe
Daily showers substantially contribute to energy and water consumption, posing a vital environmental challenge. In Europe only, 17.6 billion liters of water are used for everyday showering, contributing to a substantial carbon footprint with the emission of 164.38 million kg of CO2 daily and the requirement of 1.085 million kWh of electricity for heating purposes.
Revolutionizing Showers with an Heat Recovery System
Hamwells' Waste Water Heat Recovery system for showers decreases up to 50% of energy consumption for hot water provision. It transfers residual heat from shower wastewater to the incoming cold tap water, reducing the demand for energy in the hot water supply, and permits a proportional reduction of up to 50% in the dimensions of technical installations for hot water, leading to marked savings in investment costs and space requirements.

Cutting Energy Consumption by 50% with WWHR Technology
45%
average energy savings for showering for a three-person household annually
This solution significantly reduces up to 50% of heating energy consumption using Wastewater Heat Recovery (WWHR) systems. In its most efficient form, it can decrease an average 3 people family energy consumption by approximately 1.265kWh per year.
Hamwells provides energy-efficient showers for:
- Project developers
- Construction companies
- Plumbing fixture companies
The benefits of Hamwells energy-saving shower system
By integrating a heat exchange module into the shower system, energy consumption related to hot water provision can be reduced by up to 50%.
This not only minimizes the technical infrastructure needed for hot water, thereby saving space in the home and the B2B setting, but also leads to a significant decrease in CO2 emissions - up to 400 kg per household.
