Very cunning idea. The other more efficient alternative is to have water
waste pipes
fed around the walls of the house (and the bath etc upstairs) so that as the
water runs
out the walls are heated directly. If it is planned properly then all the
warm water stays
inside the walls for a good few hours until the next waste water is pushed
through.
Essentially a large U-bend around the wall cavity.
