Abstract

A water usage monitoring device for a shower comprises timing means configured to time the duration of water flow in a shower and counter means to indicate the number of times an individual has used the shower. A feedback device is operatively connected to the timing means and/or the counter means and configured to control and/or display water usage from showering. The timer means may comprise an electronic timer, a sand timer or a clockwork timer and the counter means may comprise an electronic counter or a manual counter such as a slider arrangement or a circular dial. Feedback means may comprise a novelty device such as an image.
