Developed and manufactured by Mira Showers, the new Advance Heatloop is the first ever electric shower to be designed to work with Recoup waste water heat recovery systems for showers (WWHRS).
The company says that while showering represents around 50 to 75% of household hot water use, around 85% to 90% of the heat energy in shower water actually ends up going down the drain.
With research from the Energy Saving Trust revealing that heating water at home also makes up about 5% of the UK’s carbon emissions, it is important to identify a way of reusing that lost heat to save energy and reduce energy bills for end users to support the decarbonisation of UK homes.
The Mira Advance Heatloop is a new electric shower which is compatible with WWHRS.
The company says that while conventional electric showers are not able to adjust to changes to elevated incoming water conditions, making them unsuitable for installation with WWHRS, the Mira Advance Heatloop features intelligent monitoring which instantly automatically adjusts power based on the incoming conditions.
Safely recycling the energy from WWHRS, the Advance Heatloop adapts to fluctuations in temperature and flow, so users enjoy consistent performance and temperatures, with no sudden cold or scalding blasts.
Able to be installed simply and quickly, including as a shower over a bath, the Advance Heatloop can be included as part of any energy efficiency upgrades and modular installation solutions, alongside a Recoup waste water heat recovery unit.
Alex Hyslop, Marketing Director at Mira Showers, said: “We’re thrilled to be introducing the new Advance Heatloop. This pioneering product has been designed to specifically work with Recoup waste water recovery products to cut down the amount of energy used per shower, supporting UK decarbonisation and household bills.”
