The smart shower is a multi functional and energy saving shower desired for the James Dyson Awards. The shower uses heat exchanger technology to reduce energy consumption, and aerating shower heads to reduce water consumption. The shower has an integrated work basin that allows you to bath babies, wash your hair and other cleaning activities.

The smart shower has been created to allow less-abled users to shower easily with a 2 door system and internal safety rail. Unlike other shower units designed for disabled users, the smart shower doesn’t look like it’s been designed for disabled users. This allows the shower to be used by a greater range of individuals as well as saving some embarrassment for those with limited mobility.

A rather interesting feature is that the shower has been designed to be easy to install and dismantle. This means owners can take the shower with them when they move home too! So the smart shower is universal, eco-friendly and re-usable!

The EcoDrain is a clever heat exchanger with no moving parts. It is designed to take the excess heat from the waste shower water and use that to pre-heat the cold-water inlet to an electric shower. This means you can cut the energy used by the water heater by up to 25-40%!

The diagram above demonstrates how it fits with the plumbing of a household shower. The EcoDrain is made from stainless steel, which has a non-stick coating on the inside of the waste water pipe. The non-stick coating is designed to stop the drain becoming clogged from soap and dirt. The energy from waste shower water is wasted anyway, so it makes sense to try and use it somehow.

It would be interesting if a variation was used to help heat water tanks or underfloor heating from waste hot water throughout the house. That’s a lot of untapped waste energy! A great innovation though!
