Showersave, the award-winning manufacturer and distributor of waste water heat recovery systems (WWHRS), has unveiled the Showersave QB1-21XE, its latest innovation designed to help SAP assessors, architects, and specifiers improve energy efficiency and achieve Part L compliance.
Available for installation from December 2024, this new model builds on the success of its predecessor, the QB1-21, and is designed to deliver maximum energy savings, compliance with building regulations, and ease of specification and installation – key benefits for assessors and specifiers across the UK.
Designed to make the biggest impact on hot water energy savings for showers, the QB1-21XE is an affordable and effective solution for meeting energy performance requirements and supporting building projects that align with the upcoming Future Homes Standard (FHS).
With its superior efficiency, the new system enables specifiers to recommend solutions that reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills, while also supporting efforts to comply with the UK's energy-saving targets.
Why choose the Showersave QB1-21XE?
- Superior performance in SAP
- Streamlined specification and installation
- Cost-effective, without compromising quality
The QB1-21XE has undergone rigorous testing and is recognised for its high performance in the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP). It delivers a maximum efficiency of 70.6% at 8l/min, making it one of the most efficient WWHRS units on the market. This makes it an ideal choice for achieving optimal SAP ratings in both residential and commercial projects.
One of the key innovations of the QB1-21XE is its new Cyclone Connector, which eliminates the need for multiple fittings. This design enhancement simplifies the installation process, reducing time and complexity for installers, while ensuring reliable performance for specifiers.
Despite the advancements in performance and design, Showersave has ensured there is no price increase with the QB1-21XE. Architects and specifiers can confidently recommend the product for energy-efficient, cost-effective projects without exceeding budgets.
Showersave has already been installed in over 140,000 homes across the UK and Europe, gaining popularity among specifiers, SAP assessors, and architects. The QB1-21XE can be used in residential and commercial developments, and even supports BREEAM requirements for sustainability in commercial projects.
Tony Gordon, Showersave’s Managing Director, commented: “Our goal is always to improve outcomes for architects and specifiers, ensuring compliance with building regulations, while reducing energy consumption and costs. The new QB1-21XE delivers on all these fronts – improved performance, easier installation, and no increase in price.
“As well as helping specifiers meet compliance targets, the Showersave QB1-21XE offers homeowners long-term savings. It is maintenance free and has a proven track record of durability and reliability. Over its lifetime, a single Showersave unit can save a household up to 10 tonnes of carbon and hundreds of pounds in energy costs annually.”
