My new favourite thing...

....is this!


Our old shower head did not survive my enthusiastic cleaning of its little lime-encrusted holes.
So we embarked on an excursion to Costco and bought this remarkable shower head.
When the water reaches shower temperature, a lever shuts off the flow until you pull the cord.
Absolutely brilliant!
You can sit on the throne, cut your toenails, contemplate your navel, whatever, as long as you want, and not waste water.
I have been unknowingly longing for one of these ever since I married Jeff.
I predict that it will pay for itself (only $28) in no time at all in conserved water and natural gas.
Costco saves the day, yet again.

  1. That is so cool! We need one of those for the kids' baths, but we need it to also cut off the flow of hot water after 5 minutes of showering, to encourage teenagers and pre-teens not to stand there with the water running and running and running. . . .:)

  2. Yeah, our last two usually emptied the hot water tank when they showered, just because they could. I don't think it would work on a bathtub shower, depending on how the water flow cuts off between the lower and upper taps.
