The first meeting took place between ShowerPowerBooster, the University of East Anglia, and a representative from UKRI Business Support. The UEA team includes Stefano Landini, Jack Panter, and David Balaam

An initial study using computer modelling will evaluate the efficiency and veracity of existing tanks converted to heat stores under multiple operating parameters. Particular attention will be given to the negative effects of traditional Power Showers, and consideration of how to integrate with existing plumbing systems. Of particular note is the methodology of avoiding the need to burn gas without removing a fossil fuel boiler.
It is intended that this study leads to a paper to be written by Jack Panter and further close collaboration on all aspects with the UEA and with the potential of shared IP and commercial exploitation.
Detailed flow parameters are not disclosed here but these three Youtube videos for public release were produced immediately following the meeting.
Grid Balancing and Cheaper Energy Costs
The Potential Impact of the heat store device in the creation of heat store widely dispersed geographically
More gas boilers needed but no need to burn gas
The potential to replace the gas being burnt in gas boilers without removing gas boilers
Water wasting, energy hungry, heat store destroying, Power Showers
ShowerPowerBoosters have a long track record as a perfect replacement for PowerShowers (see links below).
Two 15 watt ShowerPowerBoosters have the same effect as a 3KW Power Shower.
Replacing A Traditional Power Shower with a ShowerPower Booster
ShowerPowerBooster are water saving, energy saving, and heat store compatible. A pump SP21S pump set when combined with a vented Fortic Tanks when converting warehouses to multiple student accommodation gives mains pressure hot and cold. The SP21S can reduce water consumption by 30% or more compared with unvented cylinders whilst the customer enjoys showers at the same pressure. Using a SP22S and a boosted gravity system, this will reduce peak water demand by over 50%
Removing existing PowerShowers and taking out Essex and Surrey Flanges will save energy, save water, and allow the retrofitting of an energy store device to create a heat store.
