Shower Has Sensor That Saves Water

by Peter Mychalcewycz on March 21, 2008 at 04:32 PM

You know the routine. You wake up. Walk to the bathroom. Turn on the shower. Go to the Bathroom. Take off your robe. Step into shower. Curse at water that still isn't hot. All the while, water is being wasted by the gallons. It is a widespread ritual and consequently a widespread problem. Evolve, manufacturer of eco-friendly shower heads, has created a solution by introducing ShowerStart technology.

ShowerStart Technology turns the water streaming from the the shower head into a trickle once the water has warmed to 95 degrees. This simple process saves gallons of water, not to mention the energy needed to heat it. Once you have completed your morning routine of stagnation and frustration, just get in the shower and flick a switch to regain normal water flow.

You will still have to wait for your shower to heat up, but at least now you won't be wasting water. We realize that this will be of little consolation at 6 a.m. on a freezing spring morning.
