GROHE Unveils Rapido Heat Recovery Shower System at ISH Frankfurt 2025

• Innovative co-creation: GROHE uses latest sustainable shower technology developed by Hamwells for state of the art shower system
• Game-changing energy efficiency: The Rapido Heat Recovery system reuses waste heat, reducing costs and carbon footprint
• Aligned sustainability goals: A milestone in responsible water and energy consumption

Hamwells, a pioneer in sustainable shower technology, proudly celebrates the unveiling of the GROHE Rapido Heat Recovery shower system at ISH 2025. This innovative system marks a breakthrough in energy-efficient showering, reinforcing both brands’ commitment to sustainability and smart living.

As a leading specialist in Waste Water Heat Recovery (WWHR) solutions, Hamwells played a crucial role in co-developing this concealed shower system. It captures and repurposes heat from used water to preheat incoming fresh water—without mixing the two. This results in significant energy savings of up to 50% while maintaining the luxurious shower experience expected from GROHE. In addition, the system is based on the GROHE Rapido Shower Frame, enabling fast and easy installation of the GROHE Rapido Heat Recovery shower system.

“At Hamwells, we believe that the future of sustainable living lies in intelligent design and seamless integration of energy-efficient solutions,” says Jos den Besten, Business Developer of Hamwells. “Collaborating with GROHE on the Rapido Heat Recovery system has allowed us to bring our expertise in WWHR to a global audience, setting new standards in eco-friendly showering.”

The success of the Rapido Heat Recovery project exemplifies Hamwells’ mission to innovate at the intersection of water conservation and energy efficiency. By partnering with GROHE, Hamwells continues to drive the development of sustainable technologies that help consumers make greener choices without sacrificing convenience. ”With its advanced technology and efficiency, the Rapido system is set to capture the attention of homeowners, businesses, and industries that may have never previously considered the benefits of WWHR. We are convinced the Rapido Heat Recovery system will revolutionize the way people think about energy efficiency in water usage.” Jos den Besten continues.
