Wow, what a novel idea! I agree it’s very pricey but the concept is great. I’m thinking an alternative is to set the most annoying egg timer possible out on the counter, so that when it goes off, the showerer is forced to get out and turn it off, thus ending the shower!

What a clever idea! When I went on camping trips in my teens, we had to do this manually – the other kids waiting outside for their turn would time us. After 3 minutes they would force the door open. That was great training and I still take quick showers today!

Great post – practical, useful, and funny!

I love this!! This made me laugh.

I recently bought a water filter and now I am more conscious of how much time I spend in the shower because the longer I take, the more of the filter I use which equals money! lol I just started showering every other day to save water, the environment, and money. I think every little thing helps!

@Justin, not sure. I’m watching my water bill now so I’ll let you know in a month or so.

@Kristin – I haven’t seen any noticeable pressure difference. It seems to just pass through until the timer kicks in and then kills the pressure.

@Jim – Tried that, kids ignored it…or “forgot to set it”…then one day it was broke…hmmmm, wonder how that happened?

@Mary – No way to over ride it…guess your company better shower fast

If I still had a child at home I would definitely look into this. My parents would have loved it. As it is, I’m the long shower taker and I’m certainly not using it for me! Is there a way to override it? What if you had company using that shower?

Hmmm, can’t you just get a $10 egg timer that dings?
