Save energy and CO2 when showering

March 2023

If desired, the brand shower channel conceals an additional feature that can noticeably reduce the energy required for the shower. The channel in the one from Kaldewei has a heat exchanger that is completely integrated into the drainage channel, invisible to the user. This saves energy and produces less CO2.

Hot water needs about as much energy as heating. Up to 80 percent of all hot water is needed for showering alone. But while developments to make heating more efficient and energy-saving have been in focus for years, a lot of hot water still simply flows unused down the drain. But this does not have to be the case! The new Kaldewi shower channel uses the heat of the outflowing shower water to preheat the cold fresh water on its way to the shower fitting. A heat exchanger integrated into the drain thus ensures efficient heat recovery. In the spirit of sustainability, significantly less hot water needs to be added to achieve a pleasantly warm shower temperature. This saves a lot of energy, noticeably lowers costs and reduces the CO2 footprint.

The new shower channels were designed by the internationally renowned Studio Aisslinger and meet the highest design standards. Patented handling for easy opening and closing of the cover, great flexibility in channel positioning and the wide range of dimensions are further convincing arguments. And with exclusive colours and surfaces, the branded channel becomes a true jewel in the bathroom.
