I have an upstairs shower that takes a while to warm up, so my typical approach was to turn on the water, then wait a while, put my hand in to see if it was warm, wait some more, etc. In the process, I inevitably waste water due to the time between when the water is at the right temperature, and the time I make the final check. By installing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B0017YXIKC\/cooltools-20\">this adapter<\/a> in-line with the shower head (took 5 minutes to install), this daily routine is no more. A few minutes before I&#8217;m planning to shower (typically while I&#8217;m shaving or brushing my teeth), I turn the water on. As SOON as the water reaches the appropriate temperature (this appears to be pre-set at around 90F), the water flow slows to a trickle. When I&#8217;m ready to start, I open the shower door, tap the lever on the device, and the water flows freely. My wife didn&#8217;t like the look of the &#8220;pull-cord&#8221; provided, so we aren&#8217;t using that component, but the functionality is identical. I haven&#8217;t done the math, but I&#8217;m pretty sure that the payback for the $22 investment will be measured in months in terms of water and energy savings. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saves the hot water wasted during the shower warm up<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[51],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31591"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31591"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31591\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31593,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31591\/revisions\/31593"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31591"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31591"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31591"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
