A system for reusing the heat from wastewater for individual showers.
At the moment, a lot of energy is lost through hot water. In fact, only 15% of the calories in the hot water are used up by each shower. For a standard shower with 38°C water, the average temperature of the water that goes down the drain is 33°C. This energy could be used to heat up the clean, fresh water, which would cut down on the amount of energy needed. Also, the time it takes for the water to get hot after you turn on the tap wastes a lot of water. During this phase, 9 litres of water are lost with each shower. Gecko recycles 88% of the calories in wastewater and gives you hot water 3 seconds after you turn on the tap. Gecko helps the world in a good way because it uses less energy to heat fresh, clean water and less time to get hot water.
