The shower head attachment is installed in a shower head feed line The shower head attachment comprises a perforated tube, an expandable bladder, and a release valve. The release valve is installed between the perforated tube and the shower head. The perforated tube is contained within the expandable bladder. Water that flows through perforations of the perforated tube is stored within the expandable bladder. When the release valve is closed and the shower valve is opened, the pressure of the hot water line of the residential plumbing system forces cooled stored within the hot water line into the expandable bladder. The release valve is opened enabling the continued flow hot water into the perforated tube where the hot water mixes with the cooled water creating a more temperate water temperature that is released through the shower head.

A plumbing fitting includes a housing and a missing valve. The housing includes a first aperture, a second aperture, a third aperture, and a mixing chamber in fluid communication with the first aperture, the second aperture, and the third aperture. The mixing valve is disposed within the housing. The mixing valve includes a first flow control valve that is configured to control a first flow of fluid from the first aperture to the mixing chamber.

Provided is an instant water boiling device, which comprises: an instant water boiler provided with a water inlet and a water outlet communicated with a faucet; a control panel arranged on the faucet; and a controller in signal connection with the control panel and the instant water boiler. According to the invention, the control panel is separated from the instant water boiler, which is convenient to install, the instant water boiler with a larger volume can be installed in a cabinet under a tabletop, which saves a space of the tabletop, and meanwhile, the control panel is installed on the faucet, which is convenient for a user to operate the control panel, thus facilitating the operation, simplifying the installation, and saving the space of the tabletop.

An integrated mixed tap water and conditioned water faucet assembly has a pull-out sprayer head and a spout. The spout has an upwardly extending portion, a downwardly extending dispensing portion and a bight extending between the upwardly extending portion and the downwardly extending dispensing portion. A conditioned water housing and the sprayer head are disposed at a lower end of the downwardly extending dispensing portion and extend downwardly therefrom.

A domestic pipe system for delivery of hot water includes hot water source (10) and a piping to a faucet (12). The piping comprises a splitter (14), two pipes (20, 22) and a controller (16), the controller having a housing, first and second inlets (24, 26), an outlet (28), and a thermally actuated valve. The first inlet is a permanently open inlet whereas the second inlet is opened depending on the temperature of water arriving at the controller. Stagnant water that cooled down only runs through the first pipe (20) until the temperature exceeds a preset threshold. Than the controller (16) opens the second inlet such that the stagnant cold water from the second pipe can be mixed gradually with the hot water from the first pipe. Thus, the user receives warm water earlier than if both pipes need to be emptied.

A system is provided for heat recovery from shower greywater. An outlet for greywater is connected to a heat exchanger's inlet for greywater and the heat exchanger is designed so that a cold supply water flows in the opposite direction through the heat exchanger relative to the relatively hot greywater, so that heat exchange works under a counterflow principle and heat energy is transferred from the hot greywater to the cold supply water. A manifold having a nozzle outlet for hot supply water is connected to a waste pipe so that the manifold nozzle outlet for hot supply water opens into the waste pipe at a position downstream of the waste pipe inlet for greywater but upstream of the waste pipe outlet for greywater.

A water heater insert device positioned within an electrical showerhead or as a standalone liquids heating device. The water heater insert optimizes heat transfer by channeling water through a channel of a spiral or zigzag form where a deployed heating element supplies thermal energy. The channel maximizes water contact while minimizing the space. A temperature limiter adds protection against scalding.
