Digital Shower Head Saves Time and Water

by Tim Stevens on May 18, 2007 at 04:35 PM

AquafountainIf you're anything like us, you probably have to wait a good 30 seconds or so to get the shower nice and dialed to the perfect temperature in the mornings. That temperature probably never changes, so every morning you fiddle with the shower knob, you're wasting not only time, but also precious water.

But a new shower head from Grohe, the German manufacturer of high-end plumbing fixtures, may just save you time and energy. Rather than make you guess where to turn the water dial, the slim yet curvy AquaFountain delivers a digital readout of the temperature. Good news: You won't have to remember what temperature is right for you since the device's presets will let you save a different level for each member of the family. No more perfectly clean water wastefully going down the drain..

No word on cost for this one yet, but given that Grohe's non-digital shower systems can cost upwards of $2,500, it's not likely to be cheap.
