- Power-Pipe
- ebuild (9/15/2009)
- With reported energy savings of up to 40%, installing Renewability Energy's Power-Pipe really can keep money from going down the drain. The innovative drain-pipe heat-recovery product replaces a vertical section of the main drain line with a section of Power-Pipe (recommended minimum 6-foot length) consisting of a type "L" copper fresh-water coil wrapped very tightly around an inner type "DWV" copper drainpipe. Fresh water flowing through the outer coil picks up heat from hot water draining from showers, sinks, laundry, and dishwashers, pre-heating the water headed to the cold water feed of the water heater. The product is available in a variety of diameters and lengths, is UL-listed, and is Canadian Energy Star rated. 877.606.5559.
