Waste energy is a valuable resource that can be reduced, reused and recycled. Get ECO-GFX Drain Water Heat Recovery technology working for you today.
Water heating accounts for 20-30% of home energy consumption and 25-35% in multi-unit residential buildings. The percentage is at the high range in well insulated homes & homes with more occupants. In Canadian homes, showering accounts for 50-70% of residential hot water energy load.
Through transfering of waste energy from your drain water, your hot water heater will have the capacity of 3x its present volume of hotwater.

ECO-GFX Model #S3-40-2
Typical dual 1/2" coil residential unit. 3/4" fittings split off to 2 sets of 1/2" coils. This ECOGFX is used to preheat cold water to fixtures and to hot water tank. This design has the lowest pressure drop resistance on the market and the highest efficiency per foot length.
lVery Low-flow shower heads 12-20% 1 month
lLarger laundry loads with cold water 7%
ECO-GFX (DWHR) S4-40 30-45% 2-3 yrs
lStandard On-Demand 26-29% 4-10 yrs
lSolar Water Heating (freeze protected) 40-60% 12-20 yrs
lOff Peak Electric with SmartMeter ~50% 1-3 yrs
These options can be combined in a few combinations to achieve an overall savings of 70-90% on water heating costs with a combined payback of under 4 1/2years (ROI of about 25%).
–DIVERT all drain water in home except the kitchen sink to the ECO-GFX, preheat cold water to shower fixture and hot water tank
–pre-heat cold water to shower only
–pre-heat cold water supply to hot water tank or instant hot water heater
–20-55% Rate of Return in Typical Homes
-Can be easily installed in about 50% of homes, 100% in new construction.

TYPICAL HOME INSTALLATION
Green is affordable with the newly redesigned ECO-GFX using silver technology.

Enlargement of the interface between two copper contacting surfaces (the fresh water tube and the drain tube). The finish quality is exaggerated for the sake of the argument. Air acts as an insulator, we fill this air gap with a patent pending highly thermal conductive silver application thus dramatically increasing efficiency. |
ECO-GFX = Best Performance, Fastest Payback, PERIOD!

Drain Water Heat Recovery Pressure Loss Facts!
Second generation ECO-GFX units have no pressure drop issues. We place two sets of 1/2" coil on our drain tubes and connect them up with 3/4" connectors. This design was designed for industrial flow rates and is now available in our residential models.
