The Mira Advance electric shower can be directly replaced and upgraded with a Mira Advance Heatloop™. The Mira Heatloop™ technology when coupled with a Recoup WWHRS system provides a consistent shower experience throughout the year, whilst also saving energy. A 8.7kW shower can become a 3.9kW shower by using the preheated water from the WWHRS, saving up to 40% of the energy per shower use. Other electric showers could also be upgraded to a Mira Advance Heatloop™ to work with Recoup WWHRS, but for user safety Recoup WWHRS should not be connected to any other electric shower.

The Recoup HeatDeck Waste Water Heat Recovery for Showers (WWHRS) shower tray can easily be retrofitted to replace an existing shower tray in a bathroom or shower room and combined with Mira Advance Heatloop™. This provides the energy saving benefits of Waste Water Heat Recovery for Showers to an existing space with minimal disruption, lowering property carbon emissions & reducing bills.

Retrofit Energy Saving with Recoup HeatDeck

The Recoup HeatDeck is a Waste Water Heat Recovery System (WWHRS) for showers. Built with Mira Flight shower tray technology incorporating a copper heat exchanger. Warm shower water that has only lost a few degrees of temperature runs through the Recoup HeatDeck. The heat exchanger transfers heat energy from the warm shower water to incoming cold mains water preheating it. This preheated water reaches around 25°C and is sent to the cold side of the shower and/or water heater in the property. This provision of water at an increased temperature reduces the demand for hot water at the shower, meaning less energy is needed to produce hot water, which.

This is a passive technology and works for every shower taken on the Recoup HeatDeck. The shower must incorporate a thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) and installation does not require the shower to be changed unless it is an electric shower. Electric showers can be unsafe to use with Waste Water Heat Recovery Systems unless the flow and temperature is actively controlled, the Mira Showers Heatloop electric shower range is currently the only electric shower available that does this.

Product Options & Use

There are currently two tray size options for the Recoup HeatDeck. Standard white gloss or Mira Flight Safe anti-slip finish options are available. Both comprise BioCote® technology providing up to 99.9% reduced bacteria & mould growth.

There is no change of use or end user interaction once the Recoup HeatDeck is installed, users shower the same, the showering experience is the same, they just save energy having WWHRS installed into it. Installation is very easy and retrofitting into existing showers and bathrooms with the same size shower tray can be completed with minimal disruption. No specialist installation training is required. The cold water flow to the shower just needs to be diverted through the Recoup HeatDeck heat exchanger.

With the carbon and energy use of existing housing stock a significant concern as countries and governments attempt to reduce demand and consumption, the Recoup HeatDeck provides a reduction solution by conserving the energy that is generated for hot water in showering.
