Check out the link posted. It's a pretty clever solution that wouldn't require any more maintenance than a typical drain. It would be not nearly as efficient as a typical heat exchange, but would also be low maintenance.

- joezydeco 4y agoThis seems advantageous if the water heater is right next to the drain, like a lot of European systems. In massive American homes the water heater could be hundreds of feet away from the shower.
- fho 4y agoI figured that the most sensible way to install theses is in the cold water path directly in the shower. That way (part of) the heat is recirculated in the shower. The savings then come from having to run less hot water and thereby having to spend less on water heating. This works even if you have a central store of hot water (as I think is more common in modern European homes these days).
