What means grey water?
Grey water is wastewater from the bath, shower, washbasin and washing machine.
It is created continuously in almost constant quantities – independently of the season or the weather.
What means heat recovery?
Everyone knows that good insulation keeps warmth
inside a building. There are other sources of heat,
besides room heat, that should not leave your building,
namely the 28°C - 40°C warm wastewater from your
shower, washbasin or washing machine … (grey
water). Unfortunately this thermal potential discharges
into the sewers all around the world.
Forstner has developed the ThermoCYCLE ® heat
recovery system in order to use this heat source efficiently.
The highly efficient process of the patented
ThermoCYCLE ® extracts valuable energy from the
grey water as it flows off. Without seperate costs this
heat is used indirectly to pre-heat service water
and/or to support the heating system.
Field of application
The ThermoCYCLE ® system can be used everywhere
where warm water flows off, as in a sports or leisure
facility, a hotel, indoor swimming pool, cam ping
site, retirement home, rehabilitation centre, familiy
home or multi-family house.

Wastewater that contains faeces,
oil or fat may not be used.
Conditions of installation
In order to use grey water you need a wastewater
pipe system that is separated from the black water
(e.g. waste water from toilets or the kitchen). This is
easy and inexpensive to realise in new buildings or
in the course of general renovations.

Thermal energy (heat) is one of
the basic requirements of
mankind and is needed in all
situations. It is not possible to
create energy, only to convert or
to save it.
For this reasons it should be a
primary aim to use our energy
(heat) more carefully, at least if
it is possible to make the decision
ourselves.
Considerable advantages:
Very high savings potential
Reduction of the emission of harmful substances
An average of 15 kWh can be recovered from 1000
litres of grey water (measured with cold water temperatures
between 8-12°C).
Simple technology
Tested and patented procedure
Made of high quality materials such as stainless steel
1.4404 (V4A) and plastic (PE)
