Here in the UK we spend an average of 7 minutes in the shower every day whilst in reality a 4 minute shower would be sufficient for most people. This is where shower timers like ShowerBob can come in handy as they act as visual reminders for anyone looking to save water and energy in the home.

ShowerBob is a waterproof sand timer which runs for 4 minutes and attaches to the tiles or glass of your shower unit. Working on the principle of a traditional sand timer you simply turn ShowerBob 180 degrees at the start of your shower and once the sands run you know you have spent 4 minutes washing.

Keeping your showers short is one of the best ways to conserve water and reduce energy in the home and by using ShowerBoB daily, a household of four can knock around £300 off annual water and energy bills.

Personal washing accounts for approximately 33% of water usage in the average household. Heating water is also responsible for 5% of UK CO2 emissions and 25% of people’s household energy bill.
In addition to this up to 3% of the UK’s electricity is used to process and deliver 16 billion litres of water into people’s home each day so keeping your showers short is one of the best ways to conserve water and reduce energy in the house.

Every minute cut off a daily shower can help you save money on household water and energy bills - as well as reducing carbon emissions.
