I was very satisfied with the operation of this unit and it worked fine for only about 9 months. I spent about $140 total delivered. The company did not answer my first email request when I had problems. They Ignored me at first. Upon a second request they informed me they had no parts to repair it and that the warranty is only 90 days. There solution was to spend another $85.00 with freight for another unit. That would be over $200 for a product that has not lasted even a year. They need to make a more durable product or at least give you enough warranty to insure your monies worth. Sorry but customer service and poor warranty place this product in the junk category. See My experience here http://home.comcast.net/~showermanagersucks/site/?/blog/view/2/

Cheaper, easier solution: Get low flow shower head. There are a couple of problems with low flow shower heads, unfortunately. If they don’t feel good (as you hedonists know), they get tossed out. If you use an aerator or oxegenator model, it cools the shower down, and you’ll use a high ratio of hot to cold water. And if the low-flow process involves forcing the water through small holes, it will clog easily. Perhaps we have the solution, hint, hint :)

This product does not stand up to time. I have had one for 2 years and unbeknownst to me it quit working “a while ago” according to my teens. I changed the battery and it still doesn’t work. The company will not exchange it without cost. If you want a product that will last for longer don’t bother with the shower manager. On a similar note the first one I had needed to be replaced and I was charged shipping but not for the product. It seems they have a few glitches that need worked out.

I totally disagree Mike R. My shower head use before is the same as when the SHower manager is on. When the water to the shower manager cuts it means get out your time is up. You cut if off and wait the full five minutes to let the next person go.

Anywho, I have a household of 6 and this unit is so helpful in getting my boys in and out, I have it set at 8 minutes. You must incorporate the heat used to heat up the water and the water, for me this is a savings, for one person meh, maybe not so much, but tally up 6 people showering for the week, and I think you’ll see the savings. :)

The device actually makes you use more water instead of less.

Once water to the Show Manager is cut, it will not flow again at the full rate until the time has expired. This makes it impossible to take a “navy” shower, you have to leave the water running, and end up using *more* water than you would without it. I pointed that out to the company, they said they were going to make a version that would work strictly by the timer. I have not heard back. And even if the device did work as advertised, it is far too pricey. With water at 0.4 cents per gallon and a 2.5 gallon/minute shower head, the price of the device is equivalent to running the water constantly for 9 days.

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!
