Family Matters, Housemates & Other People You Have To Live With...
|
My housemate has long showers and uses all the hot water...
Can the Aqualim help?
Yes, this is why we designed the Aqualim.
Your flatmate will become aware of how much water they are using.
They will also get that nudge to get out of the shower, every time the Aqualim goes into dribble mode.

My Son takes forever in the shower...
Can you make it so there is no way for him to turn the water back on?
The idea of the Aqualim is to train your son to be aware of how much water he is using.
The shower stops every time he uses 30L or 3 buckets of water.
This will give him a gentle nudge to get out.
He will have to make the decision to turn the taps off and on to use more water!
Perhaps you could charge son $1 for each Aqualim cycle?

My daughter has long hair and is worried about having enough time to wash the shampoo out...
When the Aqualim goes into dribble mode, can she rinse her hair out?
Yes.
If she needs to rinse here hair, it is as easy as turning the taps off and on again. ( See Video)
|
| Can I slow down / pause my shower?
Yes and No.
Yes, a slow shower can simply be achieved by turning the taps down.
No, if you stop the water flow completely, the Aqualim will reset.
|
| Can I stop the shower early?
Yes, the shower can be stopped at any time by turning off the taps.
|
Can I adjust the way the Aqualim works?
Yes and No...
Yes, you can choose how fast, hot or cold you like the shower.
No, you can't change the volume the Aqualim delivers before slowing the flow to a dribble.
BUT, to get more water, it is as easy as turning the taps off and on again. ( See Video)

Operation...
|
How much water does the Aqualim give you?
At this point in time, the Aqualim only comes in a 30L size.
Web surveys indicate that this is a very acceptable amount of water for a shower.
If you wish to extend the length of your shower, it is as easy as turning the taps off and on again. ( See Video)
|
| Would it help if I fitted a 5 star or AAA rated shower head as well?
Not Necessarily.
Using a 5 star or AAA showerhead will give you a longer time in the shower with less water flowing.
It's up to you to decide what type of shower head suits you best.
|
| How do I know the Aqualim has finished?
The Aqualim will go into dribble mode.
Dibble mode prompts you to turn taps off.
If you want a longer shower, you simply turn the taps back on.
|
| Will it work upside down?
Yes the Aqualim is powered by water pressure.
