Many people say that there is nothing more relaxing that a comfortable hot shower right after a busy and hectic day at work. Hot showers really do relax our senses but at the same time waiting for hot water to come out of the showerhead takes a while, which finally wastes water at the rate of 2.5 gallons for every minute you are away from your washroom. Here’s a smart showerhead that saves that precious hot water for you to bathe instead of letting it wash down the drain.
The showerhead comes with a smart ShowerStart technology that stops the flow of water to a mere trickle as soon as the water gets hot enough for a comfortable bath. It then waits for you to pull a cord to re-initiate the flow of water, thereby saving 2,700 gallons of water annually and shaving $80 off your utility bills.

The Dark Side:
Although the showerhead saves hot water, it still allows cold water to go down the drain. Instead of using this showerhead, if people are simply told to keep a bucket under the shower and bathe only when hot water comes out of the showerhead, they could save more water and hence more money, and that too without paying for a costly “Smart” showerhead.
