The Shower Brake – Shower Water Saving Gadget

The Shower Brake is a concept design to help reduce the amount of water used in showers. The device slowly falls throughout the shower visually alerting you to how much water is being used.

The Shower Brake, designed by Sang-in Lee and Dae Hyun Kim, has been conceived from the idea that we all forget just how long we are spending in a shower and that having a reminder or a timer will help us be quicker and use the time more efficiently. This should then reduce the amount of water used in having a shower and so save on both energies used to heat the water and on water bill costs.

The controls for temperature and water pressure are located on the device which needs to be moved up to start a shower, giving you an allotted amount of water for your shower. You can set the device up only half the way for a very quick shower so you have control as to how quickly you wish to shower. The device slowly falls steadily overtime at a rate proportionate to the amount of water you are using.
