It’s easy to lose track of time when you’re
taking a shower. Save Water is a showerhead
that helps the user save water by indicating
how much has been used.

Designed to help the user save water,
Save Water is comprised of a hand-held
showerhead and a wall-mounted unit, and
includes a sensor and a digital display. The
digital display shows the amount of water
used as well as other information such as the
temperature and pressure of the water and
whether the water is turned off. The sensor
detects when the showerhead is in use. Save
Water is automatically turned on when the
showerhead is lifted off the wall-mounted
device, and is turned off when the showerhead
is returned to the wall-mounted device. The
user is able to control the water pressure and
temperature and the angle of the sprays by
adjusting the device.
