SHORTER SHOWERS SAVE WATER + ENERGY
Shorter showers are one of the most impactful ways to conserve water and energy. Most people take ~8-10 minutes to shower, but for others this can be even longer. 4 minutes is the duration recommended by utilities for sustainable showering.
Apart from being costly and unsustainable, long showers also often use up the hot water in storage water heaters leaving others to take cold showers or having to wait until the tank heats up again.
ShowerStar is a behavioural solution that completely reimagines the humble shower timer:
- 2 minute DIY install onto existing shower.
- Auto-flow detection - no manual input needed.
- Real time "traffic light" alerts.
- Logs showers - clear simple digital log of shower dates and duration.
- Visualise water and energy use and costs.



TEACHING KIDS ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY AND THE VALUE OF MONEY
Long showers are often a source of friction for families.
Young children often spend time playing in the shower whilst teens are typically water and energy illiterate. Not having to pay bills frequently results in 20-30 minute or longer showers as kids remain blissfully unaware of the impact of their behaviour.
Aside from the cost, long showers also often use up the hot water leaving others to take cold showers adding to family friction. For hosueholds with instantaneous gas this is not a problem but for homes with electric resistance or heat pump water heaters this can be a frequent issue.
Learning to shower and live sustainably is an important life lesson for parents to teach their children.
Some parents use shower data to implement cost saving deals with their children - sharing any savings from showers equally as way to teach sustainability and the value of money.
