What is the Heau Project?
Heau is revolutionizing the way people experience showers by delivering instant hot water right from the start. You know that annoying wait when you turn on the shower and have to stand there shivering for what feels like forever? Yeah, that. On average, folks wait a full minute before stepping in, wasting precious water and energy. Heau’s innovative solution stores heat from the previous shower session and releases it instantly when you turn the tap on again. The magic lies in their patented Therm-eau technology, which cleverly uses the power of water itself to operate—meaning installation is a breeze in any bathroom. This isn’t just about comfort; it’s about cutting down waste and making showers smarter and more sustainable.
