Water Kinetics Secures £150k Investment for Eco-Friendly Water Recirculation System

  • Water Kinetics, a UK-based plumbing startup, secured £150,000 in investment from the British Design Fund for its innovative 'Eco-Duo' pipe-within-a-pipe water recirculation system

  • The Eco-Duo system helps reduce carbon emissions and energy use while aiding safe pathogen levels within drinking water systems

  • The company's co-founder and inventor, Maxwell Bridges, was inspired to create the product after watching a wildlife programme on penguins

  • The system was designed to address the issue of heat loss and stagnant water in traditional water systems, which can lead to the growth of pathogens like Legionella

  • Independent testing by the Building Research Establishment (BRE) showed that Eco-Duo reduced energy costs by up to 50% compared to traditional systems

  • The investment will be used to expand Water Kinetics' reach, introduce new machinery, and aid further product development.

      • ProblemTechnology

      "Traditional water systems are inefficient, resulting in heat loss, high energy consumption, and potential for pathogen growth due to stagnant water."

      Solution

      "Water Kinetics' Eco-Duo system is a unique pipe-within-a-pipe water recirculation system that reduces heat loss, saves energy, and eliminates stagnant water, thereby reducing the risk of pathogen growth."
