The vertical shower-pipe wastewater heat exchanger (WWHX) is a groundbreaking solution developed by Counter Flow to address the pressing need for energy-efficient and sustainable construction practices. By harnessing the heat from warm wastewater and using it to pre-heat incoming cold water, this innovative system significantly reduces household energy demand and carbon emissions.

Installed beneath bathrooms on the ground floor, the vertical WWHX operates on the principles of simple thermodynamics, eliminating the need for pumps, energy input, or complex controls. Constructed from copper and PVC, the unit is not only fully recyclable but also ensures safety and durability. With a double separation system in place, the vertical WWHX guarantees that drinking water and wastewater remain completely isolated, meeting stringent hygiene standards.

Certified for its efficiency, this solution achieves high heat recovery rates, leading to substantial energy savings for homeowners and developers alike. Particularly effective for terraced houses, detached homes, and multi-story new builds, the vertical WWHX helps meet building regulations, reduces CO2 emissions, and lowers energy bills for residents.

Easy to install, maintenance-free, and designed for long-term use, the vertical WWHX transforms wasted shower energy into a valuable resource, making it an essential and cost-effective addition to energy-conscious construction projects.
