Cost
of Showering
Most
showers, at a comfortable temperature (40°C), will deliver water
at more than 12 litres per minute. At a comfortable temperature,
that heated water can cost as much as 10 cents per minute. Shower
Timer can be used in conjunction with a water
saving shower head to save on both time and flow rate.
-
The
heating energy required to provide the comfortable temperature
depends on the ambient temperature and the energy source used.
(Gas or Electric, Natural or LPG, Full Tariff or Off-peak,
Solar, etc.)
-
A 12 minute shower with a flow rate of 12 litres per minute
heated by LP Gas from 15 degrees Celcius will normally cost
about 90 cents in an Australian city location. Shower
Timer can save half this cost.

The
family average time is often more than 12 minutes. Six minutes
is generally more than adequate. Shower Timer
can limit each shower to six minutes duration.

A family paying 90 cents for each of 5 (12 minute) showers daily
will SAVE OVER $800 per annum in water and heating costs by
installing a Shower Timer set to 6 minutes.

Under the same conditions, a family having ONLY 3 DAILY SHOWERS
will recover the purchase and installation of a Shower
Timer in less than 12 months.
After this time they will be SAVING money, year after year.
