H2Oloop is a shower system design that returns cold water that would otherwise be wasted waiting for hot water in the pre-shower phase back to the storage area for thermoregulation with hot water. Data shows that an average of 9.7 liters of water is wasted while waiting for the water from the shower head to become hot, so that this water is returned to the area before the thermostat, where it is mixed with the hot water as cold water to achieve the sustainable use of water.
