Is the EcoDrain patented?
There are patents pending for key design features of both the horizontal and vertical EcoDrain. The EcoDrain was developed after extensive research, testing, simulation, and analysis of the flow of fluids through pipes. The developers learned that the key to gaining high performance heat exchange in a compact and simple device lies in controlling the flow patterns of the drain water and the fresh water. All of the EcoDrain heat exchanger technology is derived from this research and the aims to optimally control the flow patterns of the heat transfer fluids.
