The catalyst for this blog…

was this heat reclamation system. I’ve long been interested in greywater systems and found this the other night. Makes perfect sense to use some of that “waste” heat to preheat your incoming line. Seems as though they’re only effective on water that drains continuously, such as when using a shower. Any experience with these? I love the idea but I’m wondering about the statistics for actual heat reclamation. Is that a percentage for the times you use the shower, or in general? Seems high if it only works for continuous use things. Seems it would be fairly easy to incorporate into a new-build.

Make sure to check out the fabulous and informative video. Heh.
