I own one I’ve had for 2 years the first one didn’t work from the start and the company replaced it but I had to pay shipping. This one quit working “a while ago” according to my teens, I replaced the battery and it still doesn’t work. I called the company and I can get one on sale. They don’t last and the company doesn’t stand behind their product. The timer is a better idea.

The shower manager actually makes you use more water.

Once water to the Show Manager is cut, it will not flow again at the full rate until the time has expired. This makes it impossible to take a “navy” shower, you have to leave the water running, and end up using *more* water than you would without it. I pointed that out to the company, they said they were going to make a version that would work strictly by the timer. I have not heard back. And even if the device did work as advertised, it is far too pricey. With water at 0.4 cents per gallon and a 2.5 gallon/minute shower head, the price of the device is equivalent to running the water constantly for 9 days.

btw – the post that says this doesn’t work well with low-flow shower heads is incorrect – it does. I suspect the person did the same as me – turned off the water to soap up. When you turn it back on, you get limited flow.

WARNING — The Shower Manager does not allow ‘full flow’ of water to your shower head as advertised. They ‘recommend’ that you don’t use it with an ‘ultra-low-flow’ shower head, which, they apparently didn’t know, has been the only kind legal to manufacture in the US since 1992. So, don’t be disappointed when your 5, 8 or 11 minute shower isn’t as satisfying as it was before. This device reduces flow to both full flow and ‘low flow’ shower heads during your short shower, then cuts THAT in half when your time is up. It works, just not nearly as well as I had hoped.

Personally, I like a good 20 – 25 minute shower. In other words, I’m the moron that this device is intended for.

I hope this product can be available in Singapore. It is suggested that the time we set can be more flexible instead of 5, 8, 11 minutes. I prefer 15 minutes.
