Shower more sustainably<\/h3>\n
\n\t
\n

Do you unknowingly shower longer than you actually want? Would you like to use water and energy more sustainably? The AQUATIMER helps you do this. Use the rotary knob for determining how long you want to shower. The flow of water stops automatically when the set time has elapsed. Smart and simple.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good for your wallet
\n<\/strong>On average,\u00a0 we shower 7\u00bd minutes each time (source: CBS - Dutch National Agency for Statistics). Given the scarcity of drinking water and energy, it is better to shower for only 5 minutes. This saves a 4-person household around \u20ac250 per year.<\/p>\n

Environmentally conscious<\/strong>
\nIn addition to saving water and energy with the AQUATIMER, the product is also designed in such a way that the various components can be recycled. Batteries are also unnecessary due to the use of spring force.<\/p>\n

Quick and easy to connect
\n<\/strong>Place the AQUATIMER easily yourself (without tools) between the mixer tap and the shower hose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\tAccording to the Nibud (Dutch National Institute for budget information), you pay an average of \u20ac0.55 for an 8-minute shower. Showering 2\u00bd minutes less results in a saving of \u20ac0.17 per shower. Based on daily showering and a 4-person household, this results in an annual saving of \u20ac250. This applies to heating with a gas boiler. With an electric boiler, the advantage increases to \u20ac310 per year.\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\tThat is indeed the case. However, the savings the product achieves during its lifespan far exceed its environmental impact. In addition, the components of the product can be processed into new raw materials and are suitable for reuse. The overall footprint is therefore much smaller.\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\tWith other shower timers (analogue\/digital hourglasses or an app), both the start and end time of the shower session are not fixed, which makes it tempting to shower for a longer time. Existing tools therefore do not work sufficiently. With the AQUATIMER, you start with a simple turn of the knob and the water flow stops automatically when your desired shower time has elapsed. An audible signal can logically be omitted.\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
