What is the Pipe HEX Active, and how is it different to the standard Pipe HEX?

Pipe HEX Active introduction and differences.

The Recoup Pipe HEX Active combines the high-efficiency energy-saving benefits of Recoup’s market-leading Recoup Pipe HEX vertical WWHRS, combined with a low-power staged pump and innovative, proprietary buffer tank. This new product now allows the highest efficiency WWHRS to be applied to ground-floor showers, apartments, or modular bathroom pods with contained services. Scenarios that previously could only use the lower-performing horizontal WWHRS systems.

Low power Sanishower® Flat electrical pump
Double walled, patented vertical heat exchanger

First-fix & retrofit friendly design
PVC outer pipe reduces weight, cost and is an on site theft deterrent

The Pipe HEX Active also opens up the retrofit and adaptation market to vertical WWHRS. Making installation to existing showers easier and less disruptive as all required works can be contained within the shower/bathroom area.

The Active system can also be applied to the shorter Pipe HEX Rd (1700mm), as the Recoup Pipe HEX Rd Active. A slightly lower efficiency system, which can be installed where installation height is restricted below standard.
