Waste Water Heat Recovery for Showers
Testimonials
Here are some of the testimonials that we have received on the use of Recoup WWHRS products on projects, along with some about how our presentations and CPDs introducing waste water heat recovery for showers are received.
“Recoup demonstrated a solid technical knowledge and an understanding of the challenges that our clients face in terms of innovation, sustainability and adopting new energy efficiency technologies. We particularly liked that Recoup WWHRS is a cost-effective, simple to install ‘fit and forget’ technology that requires no planned maintenance and no end-user interaction.”
“ We feel a partnership with Wates is the perfect platform for Recoup to promote their products & technologies within the businesses of the Wates Group, our supply chain and to our customers.”

“The Recoup Pipe+HE system is an innovative product that represents a cost-effective way to achieve both SAP and real-time improvements. The system benefits from being a ‘fit and forget’ technology that results in tangible savings in both carbon and energy for our customers, without the need for significant levels of occupant education.”

“As Energy & Sustainability Consultants working on a considerable number of new-build domestic dwellings, Carbon Futures have recommended the use of Waste Water Heat Recovery Systems (WWHRS) on a high proportion of projects to efficiently meet the requirement to reduce the energy demand for water heating. In Scotland, Aspect Silver Level 3 (Energy for Water Heating) under Section 7 (Sustainability) of the Scottish Building Regulations, requires at least 5% of a dwelling’s annual energy demand for water heating to be from heat recovery and/or renewable sources with little or no associated fuel costs. We have found WWHRS to be a very affordable and efficient means of achieving compliance with this regulation due to its low cost, ease of installation and high efficiency. In SAP 2012, WWHRS such as Recoup’s Pipe+ HE, can achieve a carbon reduction of up to 11% for a typical 3 Bed dwelling, which is significant; especially as WWHRS has the added benefit of being a passive system, requiring no day-to-day interaction from the home owner and requires no planned maintenance.” Andrew Money Director, Carbon Futures
“We use WWHRS as an option on almost every 10% reduction requirement for local planning conditions. It’s a great technology that’s ultimately hidden from view with low investment and without any moving or mechanical parts or filters to go wrong, replace or maintain!”

“We’ve installed Recoup WWHRS for a number of our house builder clients to help achieve SAP compliance. The Recoup Pipe+ HE is the simplest product to install and also the easiest to purchase as it comes directly from the national merchants. Recoup’s technical knowledge and support have been great, and their toolbox session and technical presentation helped us understand the products, technology, installation, and why WWHRS is being used by housebuilders.”
Richard Hartley
Contracts Manager, KA Watts Plumbing & Heating Ltd
“We have found that the Pipe+ HE product is an easy to specify component which has been especially helpful where there is limited budget for renewables like photovoltaics, or a need for some improvement to counterbalance some loss of performance under SAP when late client changes are implemented. We particularly liked the absence of moving parts, or need for an electrical supply, and recovering energy that would otherwise be wasted seems the best approach to take in accord with ‘fabric first’ principles.”

“The presentation given by Recoup was both engaging and informative. It highlighted how this simple and cost effective product could offer a passive ‘fit and forget’ solution to help bring new build and conversion energy assessments back into compliance.” Alan Osborne Technical Director, Build Insight
“Not only is this a cost efficient solution for house builders, but the service offered to SAP assessors is second to none. The support and advice given by these guys is superb. If you haven’t yet used Recoup and their products in your solution package, I can highly recommend that you do.” Alix Haigh Technical Manager, Aggregate Industries
“Including WWHRS really does make a difference in terms of being able to reduce the need for high-end insulation products which can save developers a small fortune.”

“Gusto Homes have been designing and building low energy homes for almost 20 years and we always try to use simple, low maintenance, cost effective systems. The Recoup Pipe+ HE system fits in well with our approach and will give our customers long term energy savings without incurring maintenance costs.” Steff Wright CEO, Gusto Homes
“I was surprised by the results achieved by the Recoup Drain+. We were dubious at first whether it would make a difference but it does” Rob Ironmonger Site Manager, T&B Contractors
“The Recoup Pipe+HE is by far the most innovative product within our supply chain, also sitting comfortably from a commercial and customer acceptance perspective. The technology sits squarely within our ‘fit & forget’ ethos which we feel is essential for not just giving CO2 savings in theory, but delivering real benefit in reduced CO2, and reduced bills, for our customers.”
