1.1 Introduction Showersave QB1-21 & QB1-21C (Showersave) On average, a shower uses 60 litres of water at a temperature of between 40

and 41 °C. This shower water goes straight down the drain, wasting a great deal

of heat and energy. By running the hot water through the QB1, this heat can be

transferred to the water on its way to the boiler and/or the cold water tap of the

shower's mixer tap. The heat transfer takes place simultaneously while you

shower.

Note: The Showersave QB1-21 and QB1-21C are similar systems. The ONLY

difference is the type of waste water rotator used at the top of the heat

exchanger. The heat exchangers are exactly the same.

1.2 Showersave

The NCM (SAP) Identifier is

Showersave QB1-21 OR

Showersave QB1-21C.This is

supplemented by the Model Qualifier

denoting the system configuration

(System A, B or C). Installation

systems comprising either QB1-21 or

QB1-21C are referred to as QB1

within this document, with Model

Qualifier as appropriate. The QB1 is

2.1 m long and can only be installed

vertically. The QB1 is therefore,

generally, only suitable for heat

reclamation from shower water from

an upstairs shower.

The QB1 is connected to the shower waste. If the shower is integrated into the bath, the QB1 can be connected to the bath waste. The QB1 needs to be placed as close as possible to the shower waste water exit point.

When showering starts it takes a short time for the QB1 to respond and

contribute to heating the cold water. This means the temperature of the shower

water will continue to rise for some time. It is a requirement that thermostatic

mixer valves are used.

1.3 Description of the heat exchanger

The QB1 is made of copper.

The QB1 has a double barrier between the waste water and the potable fresh

water. The heat exchanger consists of 3 pipes. A thin-walled pipe, the so-called

lining, has been installed around the inner pipe. The minuscule space between

the lining and the inner pipe contains air. If the inner pipe develops a leak, this

becomes visually apparent as waste water will drip from the heat exchanger.

This double wall separation is in accordance with EN 1717, tested and certified

by KIWA. The system is also WRAS approved.

1.4 Standard Assessment Procedure recognition

Every QB1, when shipped is identified with a unique serial numbered label

attached to it. A second NCM (SAP) Identifier label is also supplied. The installer

must complete the Model name and Qualifier field, on the label, with the system

configuration. This label must be visible for inspection by affixing it to a nearby

service or boiler cupboard without the need for disassembly.

If the label is not visible and / or the serial number does not correspond with the

commissioning certificate that is completed, the system will not be guaranteed,

nor will it be recognised in SAP.

4.0 Installation

4.1 Overview of installation - Systems A, B & C

The inlet side of the QB1 is connected to the mains water system. The outlet

side can be installed in three different ways, that are recognised in SAP, namely:

System:

A. Combined connection to the shower mixer tap's cold water connection and

the water heater.

B. Separate connection of the cold water connection to the shower's mixer tap.

C. Separate connection of the cold water connection to the water heater.

The largest energy and CO2 saving is achieved by using System A.

The performance of all 3 systems are recognised within the SAP Products Characteristics Database (PCDB) where the relevant efficiencies can be found www.ncm-pcdb.org.uk/sap

http://www.ncm-pcdb.org.uk/sap



4.2 Important notes to designers & installers

The system should be installed by a suitably qualified plumber, with system

design consideration being equally important to a correct installation. For

recognition of the QB1 within SAP, a system design checklist and certificate of

installation should be completed and signed, with copies kept for the home

information pack (homeowner), the installer and sent to Building Products

Distributors at the address below. Building Control Officers may also request a

copy. The flow chart below will assist in both the design and installation process. The design and installation processes outlined within this document are

designed to comply with Approved Code of Practice and Guidance (ACOP) L8,

which are the guidelines for the prevention of Legionnaire's disease in UK

Commercial buildings. ACOP L8 is designed to provide guidance for all

installations in public and commercial premises. It should be noted that within a

residential environment in the UK homes generally cannot comply with the

ACOP L8 as interior temperatures can frequently exceed 20⁰C.

Is the system pressurised / unvented ?

Is there space within ( rather than externally ) the building to

install the Showersave ?

Which system is the most appropriate in terms of the installation ? T he Showersave will always be mounted close to the

shower , and hence a

connection to the cold inlet on the mixer tap is straightforward . T he water heater

may be mounted some way away , which may make routing the Showersave output to the heater cold inlet more difficult.

In this case a System B installation solves the problem .

System A - the pre - heated output of the

Showersave is used to supply both the ‘cold’ input to the mixer tap , and also the supply to the water

heater .

System B - only the mixer tap input . System C -

only the water heater . See 3 . 1 Systems

A , B & C

Is the water pressure > 1 bar ? NO Do not install

Showersave system



4.3 Positioning of Showersave

The QB1 should always be placed in an easily accessible location in order

that inspection work can be undertaken. The warranty will become obsolete

if this is not the case.

The WWHRS must always be installed within heated envelope for SAP

recognition. Possible locations:

Alongside internal soil stack through which the waste water would have run

Fixed cabinet under stairs if there is sufficient height

Pre-defined and specified technical area

Always place Showersave as close to the shower outlet as possible. Long run lengths will influence the systems effectiveness.

4.4 Points of note

The Showersave can be installed in homes, apartments, hotels, hospitals,

nursing homes, etc. Also industrial companies can easily utilise the heat from

the waste water. The design checklist at Appendix B should be completed to

ensure recognition.

To be recognised in SAP the QB1 must be used in conjunction with a mains

pressure hot water system, such as a combination boiler or an unvented hot

(pressurised) water cylinder. It can also be used in conjunction with a solar

thermal system.

When installing the QB1 in conjunction with a combination boiler, ensure the

appropriate system is installed that can accept pre-heated water. Refer to the

boiler manufacturers' data sheet.

Points of note Ensure the heat exchanger is easily accessible so that it can

be easily installed and uninstalled.

Ensure that a non-return valve and a shut-off valve have been installed and that these are easily accessible.

Ensure that the heat exchanger is installed in a space in which the temperature does not normally exceed 25 °C, DO NOT INSULATE the QB1

Make sure the tap water connections are preferably made using straight thread, that no hemp is used and that the tightening moment is limited to 120 Nm.

Following installation the system should be cleaned in accordance with ACOP L8 or BS 6700 (Design, installation, testing and maintenance of services supplying water for domestic use within buildings and their curtilages).

Be aware there may be some pressure loss on the tap side when a high flow rate shower head is in use.



4.5 Typical system installation

NB: rotator for QB1-21 or Cyclone rotator for QB1-21C

Notes:

1) The rotator at the top of the Showersave may be located within the

ceiling void, depending on the height of the room.

2) The size of the boxed off unit will be no more than 2,400mm in height by

340mm in width and 240mm in depth.

3) The boxing off needs to be in accordance with the NHBC standards AD

part E.

4) The Showersave, is considered a device. The space it is installed in

should be large enough so that inspection can be carried out. Access

should be possible without too much work.

5) The cold to the base of the Showersave can come from above or from a

location on the same floor. Consideration should be given to whether the

system is being installed as System A (Normal), System B or System C.



1. Install the Showersave vertically to a solid surface, using the 2 brackets

and 10mm studs supplied.

2. Ensure the 2 push fit connectors on the waste pipe (1 x 90ᵒ and 1 x 45ᵒ)

are positioned as per the photos below (QB1-21 only).

These pictures show the correct installation of the 90° and 45°

connectors on the waste. Correctly fitting these connectors will ensure

the best energy recovery performance.

3. Using the straight through 50x40 compression reducer supplied, connect

the waste from the bottom of the Showersave to the SVP.

QB1-21 only



4. The mains water supply are connected to the top and bottom of the heat

exchanger using 1/2” BSP iron male fittings.

5. Only use PTFE tape to seal the thread, DO NOT USE HEMP

6. Do not over torque, max 120mm

7. Install an isolator on both top and bottom mains water supply

8. Install non-return valve before the shut-off valve

9. A drain tap to bottom supply could be helpful

10. Do not wrap the Showersave with insulation

11. Return the warm flow from top of Showersave in accordance with the

designated system (A, B or C) and in line with best plumbing practices.

12. Attach the 2nd SAP Identifier label supplied to the inside of the boiler

cabinet so it is easily visible to the energy assessor

Note: One label should be permanently affixed to the WWHRS unit and another to a nearby Boiler or Service cupboard.



4.6 Installation of Rotators QB1-21 & QB1-21C

The supply of waste water to the Showersave must take place a rotator which is

supplied with the system, when requested, please refer to the instructional

drawings for installation. The rotator makes the waste water rotate as it enters

the Showersave, whirling it against the side walls of the inner pipe so it flows

down the inner pipe's walls along the entire length. This is important for reasons

of efficiency. REMEMBER: if not installed correctly, and in accordance with

these instructions, SAP recognition becomes invalid.

1. Standard rotator – QB1-21

The 45° bend is attached to the top of the Showersave and angled to allow the

90° bend to point in the appropriate direction. The 40 x 50 reducer is then used

to connect to the shower waste water pipe (if 40mm).

The external diameter of the inner pipe is 50mm, so a 40/50mm reducer may be

required. Using the fittings supplied, the rotator allows connection to BS EN

1451 - 1:2000, BS EN 1455 - 1:2000 or BS EN 1566 - 1:2000 waste systems.

5.0 Maintenance & Safety 5.1 Maintenance & cleaning Generally no maintenance or cleaning is required. Efficiency can slightly decrease as a result of dirt accumulating on the inside of the Showersave. However, the waste water from the shower flows at a high speed of over 1 m/s along the inner pipe's wall. This is comparable to the water speeds in a dishwasher. The water flows through the pipe in 2 seconds and so no dirt can accumulate. To a large extent the Showersave is self -cleaning. If, for whatever reason, dirt accumulates, then a soap-based cleaning agent can be used to flush the pipe. Cleaning agents based on scouring or polishing agents are not recommended as these can stick to the wall of the pipe, reducing its efficiency. Connecting a wash basin to the Showersave is not recommended as shaving gel and toothpaste are very sticky and could adhere to the wall of the inner pipe. If the system is left to stand for more than three days it is good practice to “flush the system to drain slowly” to avoid aerosol. This can be achieved by slowly (to avoid splashing) turning on a hot water tap for three minutes. In a commercial environment, under L8, It is good practice to clean and disinfect Showerheads and hoses on a Quarterly basis. In accordance with L8, and only in commercial situations, should a risk assessment be undertaken following installation of a system/s. 5.2 Legionella risk and mitigation When no cold water is flowing up the Showersave, the temperature in the pipe

should be prevented from becoming higher than 25 °C. The Showersave may

therefore not be installed near heat conducting pipes, on warm surfaces or in

spaces with constantly high temperatures (>25°C). The cold water pipe,

connection and the outer wall of the Showersave should therefore not be

insulated.

Installing the Showersave in the way shown in the diagram System A will mean

that whenever the hot water system runs the cold water system will be flushed.

This will result in stagnation being minimised and complies with

recommendations within ACOP L8. This would be the most common method of

installation.

In instances where it is not possible to ensure a Tee at the cold side of the

shower's thermostatic mixing valve, then a “venturi” effect assembly should be

considered. This is a straightforward assembly of different pipe diameters to

ensure stagnation on the cold side is minimised.

Following installation, the system should be cleaned in accordance with L8 or

BS6700 and pressure tested. This is no difference to installing any standard

plumbing/pipe system.



If the system is installed in a non-private building, ACOP L8 recommends that all

new/modified plumbing requires a risk assessment to be undertaken in order to

comply.

5.2 Warranty The Showersave QB1-21 & QB1-21C come with a 5 year warranty.

The warranty is conditional on the system being installed in accordance with this

manual and advice given, from time to time, by BPD Ltd. It must also meet all

the requirements of this manual if the system is to be recognised within SAP

Assessments and therefore Part L of the Building Regulations (Part F Northern

Ireland).
