This document discusses an innovative hand washing station called Smixin that allows users to wash their hands with 90% less water and 60% less soap. Smixin works by smartly mixing water and soap inside itself in an efficient way. The document also briefly describes a shower drain system that extracts heat from outgoing shower water to warm up incoming fresh water, providing energy savings.

18. Shower Drain with heat recycling.
The most refreshing way to save energy
January 2016

19. How it works
The linear heat exchanger that is integrated inside the drain extracts
the heat from the outgoing shower water and uses this heat to warm
up the incoming cold fresh water before the mixing valve. This effect
begins within a few seconds and warms the incoming cold water from
about 10 degrees up to 25 degrees and more. Therefore, it is much
warmer when it arrives at the mixing valve, and much less hot water is
required from the water heater tank or solar array. The result is a
notable energy and CO2 savings.
