ECO Showerdrop - a low-cost shower meter that'll save water and money

Taking a shower is better for the environment, and your pocket, than having a bath (which uses 80 to 100 litres of water). But a modern power shower can use 20 litres of water a minute, easily putting out 100 litres in 5 minutes.

Different showers mean water use varies from house to house, so whilst timing your shower is a step in the right direction, that won't tell you how much water you're using.

The ECO Showerdrop is a low cost shower meter that works out how much water your own shower uses, and when you take a shower, it'll let you know when the recommended amount of water has been dispensed.

The savings can be substantial: a family of four could save over £180 per year, as well as 40,000 litres of water and 2/3 tonne of CO2.

Heating water is the second biggest use of energy in the home, after central heating, using more energy than lighting, appliances and cooking. (Source: BERR 2008)

70% of all hot water used in the home is used in the bathroom - and the majority of this is used in the shower. (Source: Waterwise 2008)

We currently use on average over 65 liters of water per shower. (Source: Waterwise 2007)

Using a Showerdrop can cut this to 35 litres or less.

An average family of four would therefore save over £180 on heating and water bills annually. (Source: Waterwise/Energy Saving Trust 2008)

A simple digital display lets you know exactly how much water your shower uses with simple graphics. An alert tells you when the recommended amount of water has been dispensed.

No installation, just a very simple set-up to measure how much water your shower uses - no tools are required. Full instructions supplied.

Waterwise and the Energy Saving Trust have verified that by using the Showerdrop, for a family of four, savings can amount to £180 a year saved on water and energy bills, as well as over 40,000 litres of water and two thirds of a tonne of carbon!
