*Savings compared to a mixer shower (8 l/min) connected to a WWHRS.
How does HeatRepeat® work with Waste Water Heat Recovery Systems (WWHRS)?
ENlight® with HeatRepeat® is specifically designed to be fitted to a WWHRS, a simple heat recovery technology that captures the otherwise wasted energy (heat) from the shower waste water, to preheat the incoming cold water to the shower (and/or water heater).
How it works
As heated waste water from the shower drains away, it passes over the waste water heat recovery unit. As the incoming cold mains water supply supplies water to the shower, the heat energy recovered from the waste water is then re-used to pre-heat the incoming cold mains supply.
What is the benefit?
By requiring less heating of incoming water supplies within the electric shower's built in heater can element, ensures a better performing and more sustainable showering performance, as less energy is required to pre-heat the incoming mains water to the required showering temperature.
HeatRepeat® FAQ’s
What is Triton HeatRepeat® and how does it help save water, energy and money?
ENlight® with HeatRepeat captures otherwise unused energy from the shower waste water to pre-heat incoming cold water to the electric shower, to reduce annual consumption by up to 44% (water), 51% (energy) and 37% (carbon emissions), when compared to a mixer shower (8 l/min) connected to a WWHRS, resulting in lower running costs for the homeowner, all while delivering an improved showering experience.
How does a Triton HeatRepeat® electric shower support housebuilders to meet building regulations and the Future Homes Standard (FHS)?
Triton HeatRepeat® supports Part L compliance by reducing energy demand by 51% (compared to a conventional mixer shower at 8 litres per minute when connected to a WWHRS) and Part G compliance by offering a more water efficient electric shower solution of up to 4.8 l/min. Using less water enables housebuilders the specification of a smaller hot water cylinder (saving money and space) and supports water-stressed sites, where permitted water use is less than 110 litres per day.
Why specify an electric shower to work with a waste water heat recovery system (WWHRS)?
As the installation of waste water heat recovery systems continues to grow in the housing sector, choosing an electric for connection to a WWHRS, such as Triton's ENlight® with HeatRepeat®, can deliver several benefits;
- Deliver instant hot water – heat water on demand, reducing energy waste.
- Lower energy consumption – only heat the water they use, meaning they can be more efficient than heating a full tank.
- No hot water storage loss – traditional systems lose heat from stored hot water, but electric showers eliminate this issue.
- Work independently - don’t rely on a home’s heating system, making them ideal for households with varying hot water needs.
- Lower environmental impact - reduce carbon emissions due to optimising water and energy use.
- Part L - Electric showers outperform mixer showers in key SAP metrics: Dwelling Emissions Rate (DER) and Dwelling Primary Energy Rate (DPER).
- Part G - Electric showers use significantly less water enabling housebuilders to build dwellings below 100 litres per person per day.
