When does it make sense to retrofit the EcoDrain?
Typically, the EcoDrain will be installed as part of a larger construction or remodel project. In some cases, it may also be practical to do a dedicated retrofit. The key to a retrofit being practical is either that the cost of installation is low or the energy savings are high. The largest challenge in installation is accessing the drain pipe and fresh water pipe. If you live in a home with accessible crawl space, then the piping might be readily accessible making retrofit cost effective. If you have an application in which many hot showers are taken per day, for instance a commercial gym, the cost of retrofitting may be small compared to the savings.
