The Sanura Flatmate is the most cost-effective shower heat exchanger for saving energy in existing showers
01.
Identification
A lot of energy is wasted in showers. Valuable hot water is used for only seconds and is then drained into the sewer. By using a shower heat exchanger, heat can be recovered from the drain water and reused to pre-heat the incoming cold water. This results in significant energy savings and reduced carbon emissions. Current shower heat exchangers are integrated into the shower floor or wall, requiring breaking and plumbing work. Especially in existing showers/bathrooms, breaking and plumbing lead to significant implementation costs and hinder large-scale adoption of heat exchanger systems. Sanura developed the Flatmate, a shower heat exchanger that can be easily installed on top of the existing shower floor and connected to a standard shower faucet, without any breaking or plumbing work. By eliminating implementation costs, the Flatmate is the most cost-effective heat exchanger solution for existing showers/bathrooms.
