Take Drain Water Heat Recovery Devices (DWHR).採取排水餘熱回收設備（ dwhr ） 。 We really like them We think they are a very simple yet useful device to use the used hot temperature of a shower or dishwasher to help warm the fresh cold water coming into the house.我們真的很喜歡他們，我們認為他們是一個很簡單的，但有用的裝置，使用用於高溫的一個澡或洗碗，以幫助表示熱烈的新鮮冷水進入眾議院。 This occurs by was of the used hot water leaving the house by way of a special copper pipe on the outside of which is more copper tubing through which the cold fresh water coming into the house is directed.出現這種情況是由該用熱水離開家的方式，特別對銅管的外面是更多的銅油管通過該冷的食水進入眾議院是針對。

We have written about these devices previously, including in our series about the Energy Efficiency Evaluation Report (energy audit report) we received as part of our participation in the ecoENERGY Retrofit program:我們已致函有關這些設備以前，包括在我們的一系列關於能源效率的評估報告（能源審計報告） ，我們收到的一部分，我們的參與，在ecoenergy改造計劃： ecoENERGY Report - Part 7 - Recommendations ecoenergy報告-第7部分-建議 . 。

Well, even though we really like them we were not sure about the plumbing in our house since prior owners had 20 years before we took over to do ’stuff’.那麼，即使我們真的很喜歡他們，我們不知道管道在我們家，因為前業主有20年前我們接手做'的東西' 。 And, we were not sure of the payback.而且，我們不知道的回饋。 So, we called in a national firm who not only sold one of these devices but also installed them.因此，我們呼籲在一個國家的堅定誰，不僅出售之一，但這些設備還安裝了他們。

Sure enough the person was very nice and knowledgeable.果然人很好，和知識化。 In the end we decided that we would not spend the money to purchase one and have it installed.在最後我們決定，我們不會花這筆錢購買一，並已安裝。 Why?為什麼？ Well, we discovered with the in home estimator’s help where that darn main drain pipe was located.那麼，我們發現，與在首頁估算的幫助下，如果石壩主要排水管被尋回。 Would you believe that one of the previous owners had covered up the main vertical drain pipe behind not just any wall of the finished basement bathroom.你會相信，一個之前的業主已掩蓋了主要的垂直排水管的背後不只是任何的圍牆完成地下室浴室。 No, that would have been too easy, as they say.不，那會被太容易，正如他們所說。

They covered up the main vertical drain pipe with a wall against which was the sink, the cabinet that the sink was in and the hung mirror.他們掩蓋了主要的垂直排水管與牆上所針對的是梳妝台，內閣水槽是在和紅一面鏡子。 And, to add to this, they did what you know from a few months ago is one of my pet peeve of home renovations.和，添加到這一點，他們沒有什麼你知道從幾個月前是我的一位寵物peeve家居裝修。 They drywalled the ceiling in the basement bathroom.他們drywalled的上限，在地下室的浴室。 This meant that we would need to also break the drywall in the ceiling to connect the fresh incoming water lines between the DWHR device and our hot water tank.這意味著我們將需要也打破drywall在天花板連接的新鮮傳入水線之間的dwhr設備和我們的熱水罐。

So, at the end of the day, because prior renovations in our home covered up the main vertical drain pile, it is cost prohibitive for us to spend money to have in stalled any DWHR device.因此，在這一天結束，因為在裝修之前，我們的家掩蓋了主要的垂直流失樁，這是成本高昂，我們花錢都在停滯不前的任何dwhr裝置。
