1 · Horizontal copper tube

A short horizontal copper tube houses the heat-recovery exchanger. Just 90 mm deep — fits under most baths, behind a sink unit, or in a service void. No tall vertical run needed.

2 · Inner heat-exchanger coil

Cold mains water flows through a coil inside the unit. The coil is positioned where the warm shower waste flows over it. Heat transfers through the copper to the cold mains water as it passes through.

3 · Cross-flow design

Because it's horizontal, the Easyfit uses a cross-flow design rather than counter-flow. Less efficient than vertical units (47% vs 70% recovery) but it works where vertical units physically can’t fit.

4 · Standard plumbing connections

15 mm copper push-fit or compression fittings for the cold-water in and pre-warmed out. Standard 40 mm waste-pipe connections for the shower waste. Uses normal UK plumbing parts.

5 · No moving parts

Same as the vertical units — nothing inside moves. No pumps, no valves, no electronics. Pure conduction through copper. No power needed.

6 · Self-cleaning flow

The shower waste flow itself keeps the inside clean. No filter to change, no descaling needed. Works the same on day 1 and day 7,300.

7 · Mounting clips

Two clips fix the unit to floor joists or wall framing. Sits below the shower tray or bath. Service access can be built into the bath panel or under-sink unit if needed.

8 · CleverBloom can help

If your floor plan doesn’t suit a vertical Showersave, the Recoup Easyfit usually does — we’ll confirm during the design phase based on the bathroom layout and pipework access.

2-year manufacturer warranty

Recoup Energy Solutions warrants the unit for 2 years against defects. Real-world product life is far longer — copper plumbing typically lasts decades when fitted correctly.

No annual service

No filters, no electronics, no pumps to wear out. Once tested at install, the unit needs no further attention. Will last for the life of the bathroom plumbing it's connected to.

Hidden under the bath

Once installed, the unit sits under the bath panel. Homeowners never see it or interact with it. The only sign it's working is the lower hot-water bills.

No legionella risk

The cold and waste streams never mix — they are separated by a copper wall. Cold mains water passes through quickly with no stagnation, so no legionella risk. WRAS-approved.

No water-quality issues

Easyfit+ preheats incoming cold water using a separate copper pipe — the water you shower in is fresh mains water, just warmer. No contamination, no taste, no smell.

UK manufacturer support

Recoup Energy Solutions is a UK manufacturer. Technical support, warranty handling, and spare-part supply are all UK-based. CleverBloom handles design specification and project coordination.
