Any and all water savings is good. I have been woking hard at saving water with things that do not change our lifestyle like a dualflush toilet or water saver faucets. cutting down on shower time saves but changing the head out to use less water will not change the lifestyle but will save the water.

I agree with John. Shower timers are a perfectly valid greening strategy as part of a larger water conservation program. Shower timers are inexpensive devices that can save a lot of water when used by institutions with lots of showers. Think about it. If every gym, spa, hotel, hospital and university installed these, a lot of water would be saved.

K1W1 – Keep in mind these items are not targeted at individuals. They are promotional items to help a company or organization communicate a message.

In that regard someone like a City water utility or eco friendly hotel chain using these as a giveaway at an education fair makes much more sense than say coffee mugs or caps, as the Eco Water Saver™ helps people actually conserve water, which is likely one of the goal of the utility or hotel chain.

Too many of these so called “green” solutions are popping up as ways to help the environment when they are merely marketing ploys. REDUCE spending, REDUCE waste–these are ways to help the environment. If you really need to time your shower bring in a water resistant watch or put a clock in the bathroom!
