Drain water heat recovery systems recapture heat generated by a hot shower and transfer it into the fresh water going into the water heater, allowing the water heater to work more efficiently, recover faster, and use significantly less natural gas. Up to 60% of the heat that would otherwise go down the drain is recycled and used again.
