The Power-Pipe is a drainwater heat recovery system designed and manufactured in Kitchener, Ontario by RenewABILITY Energy Inc.
Since 90% of your water heater's work goes down the drain during showering, you have a great opportunity to save money by reclaiming and reusing that heat energy in your water heater. The savings are significant and paybacks are great!
Read on to find out how the Power-Pipe can help you save money.
How it Works:
The Power-Pipe is designed to allow you to reclaim heat energy from your shower drain water.
As
seen in the images to the right and below, the Power-Pipe is a copper
heat exchanger designed with a drain pipe surrounded by a coil of
freshwater tubing. As heated drain water flows from your shower
into the Power-Pipe's drainage side, the heat actively transfers into
the cold freshwater. During showering, this pre-heated fresh water
then flows to your water heater and shower. Since the fresh water is
pre-heated, your water heater doesn't have to work nearly as hard and
you save money!
The Power-Pipe's performance has been tested and
verified by NRCan and independent university studies. Many leading home
builders have recognized and implemented the Power-Pipe as a valuable
addition to the energy efficiency of their homes.
Why not include the Power-Pipe in your home and start saving money during your next shower?
Water heating represents the second highest energy
consumption in homes, preceeded only by space heating. During
showering, 90% of the heat produced by your water heater is wasted to
the sewer. With the Power-Pipe, you will save up to 40% of that water
heating cost and achieve real savings on your utility bill.
An average of 55% heat recovery makes the Power-Pipe® a
very attractive investment in your home. Reduce Greenhouse Gas
Emissions by up to one tonne per year and save money on water heating
costs at the same time!
When compared to other green-technologies, the
Power-Pipe drain water heat recovery system is by far the best
cost/value investment you can make in your home. In fact, for an
investment of less than $1,000 (parts and installation included), most
home owners realize 10%-25% return on their investment annually!
The Power-Pipe offers a strong rate of return on your
investment. The average home can get the Power-Pipe working for them
for less than $1000, parts and labour included! Given an average annual
savings of $150, a strong 10-20% return on investment annually helps
make this technology very popular. Additionally, the Power-Pipe pays
for itself in 2-7 years, depending on the overall showering volume in
your home.

It is key to realize the real savings potential offered by the Power-Pipe. 90% of the heat produced by your water heater is wasted to the sewer during showering. An average family of four can save $250 annually in water heating cost just by installing a Power-Pipe. Each family's savings is proportional to the volume of daily showering being done.
Benefits of the Power Pipe include: * Maintenance FREE and has no moving parts - so there is nothing to break down * Will keep you from running out of hot water while showering * Will pay for itself in 2 to 7 years * Easy to retrofit into almost any home * Great for the Environment reducing your home energy consumption by 5-10% * Reduces Greenhouse Gas Emissions
