The waterpebble is an invention by Paul Priestman and is a water activated shower timer. By using the traffic light system of green, yellow and red lights to help train the user to take shorter showers. 2 versions of the waterpebble are now available. The waterpebble sits at the waste / drain and is activated by water flow. The residential reducing timer will measure the length of the 1st shower and then reduce the time to the flashing red light by 7 seconds for each subsequent shower. The commercial / hotel model is set to 3 mins 50 secs

•Waterpebble senses the water flowing around it, so no need to switch it on and off. •It automatically times your first shower then uses that as a benchmark for future showers. •The 2nd shower onwards it reduces that time everyday by 7 seconds. •When it becomes a little too short then push the re-set on the reverse and it starts all over again.

Green - start showering Yellow - you're halfway through Red- end of shower

A series of soft flashing lights indicate how much time you are spending compared to the benchmark, when it flashes red your time is up encouraging you to save water, energy and money. Waterpebble helps to change peoples water consumption habits gradually.
