Water management is often a last-minute thought which can be a problem as we need water to survive. Thankfully, EGON has designed a solution that is next level and called it the Water Hub.

The EGON Water Hub enables you to conserve your drinking water by separating your shower/washing water source from your drinking water source.

It has two completely separated water circuits. This prevents your drinking water tank from being contaminated by an external water source. Drinking water is pumped directly from your drinking water tank to the tap outlet.

This means you can collect water from a bucket, jerry can, river or lake for showers or for washing up by using the external pick-up hose dropped into the water source. The water is then pumped through the Water Hub and distributed to the shower outlet.

Another benefit of the Water Hub is that it automatically mixes hot water from a water heater, such as a boiler or gas water heater with the cold water from the external pickup, and you can control the temperature via the control knob.

The water temperature from the shower outlet can be set to 38 degrees and will keep the water at that temperature until the water being pumped in drops below 38 degrees. When the water heater is outputting water at 70 degrees, the Water Hub mixes cold water to keep the shower outlet at 38 degrees, perfect for washing dishes and showering.

When you turn on the switch using the blue LED, the water pump connected to your tank will turn on and pressurise the hoses. When you turn on the switch with the green LED your external pick-up pump will pressurise the external pick-up water hoses. Each pump has an inbuilt pressure switch and will turn on automatically when you use water, as long as the switch is turned on.

The EGON Water Hub has been designed for 4WDs, camper trailers, caravans and boats but can also be used in any off-grid dwelling such as a cabin or a pool shower.

The Water Hub kit can be purchased on its own, with the electrical kit or as a bundle that also includes both these items plus the hose kit.

It is simple to install and the electrical kit allows you to install the blue and green LED switches either inside the Water Hub case or remotely, meaning the Water Hub itself can be installed in an out-of-the-way place.
