Cold water diverters
A cold water diverter is a mechanical valve installed on a hot water line. It redirects the initial cold water, known as redwater, that sits in the pipe before hot water arrives. Instead of wasting this water down the drain, the diverter sends it to a greywater tank, a garden irrigation system, or back into the hot water storage system for reuse. These diverters work using water pressure and do not require electricity.
Hot water recirculation systems
If you're renovating your home—especially your bathroom, ensuite or kitchen—you're probably already thinking about energy efficiency and water conservation. One option gaining popularity in Australian homes is the hot water recirculation system. These systems are designed to deliver hot water instantly, without wasting litres of water while you wait for the tap to warm up.
Temperature controllers
Temperature controllers play a vital role in modern Australian homes, particularly in renovations and new builds that must meet today’s safety, energy and sustainability standards. These devices regulate water temperature at outlets, reducing the risk of scalding and helping households comply with current building codes.
