This Piezo Shower concept offers a shower structure that heats the water passing through it by taking energy from the movement of the water. The Piezo Shower does not use any electricity to heat the water, nor is any needed to power the touchscreen display that controls and provides information on your showering.

The designers of the Piezo Shower, Natalie Weinman, Victor Stelmasuk, Sebastian Jansson and Fernanda Pizá, created a working prototype in Paris. The shower derives power to heat the water and to power the touchscreen display from the movement of the water through the piping. The pipes have fibers enclosed within them and when water is pushed through the pipes friction on the fibers creates electricity and heat. However, I get the impression that some energy is required somewhere to at least get the shower started.

The touchscreen display for the shower is an additional aid to help make showering as eco friendly as possible. The display allows you to adjust temperature and water pressure. The display will also inform you of how long you’ve been in the shower and how much water has been used. This helps keep the user aware of just how much water they’re using for their shower, particularly for people who are prone to losing track of time when washing.

The Piezo Shower is a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing shower that should help to reduce the electricity bills of a household while losing none of the functionality of a shower. In fact the household would gain a modern touchscreen display for controlling and monitoring showering. It’ll be interesting to see if this design evolves into a mass-produced product.

The Water Pebble is a little device designed by Paul Priestman that you place in a bath tub or shower cubical to monitor the amount of water you use when showering.

The Water Pebble works by recalling how much water was used whet it was first used. From then on it uses this as a benchmark amount, warning you through coloured lights as you go through water usage. Each time you use the Waterpebble it takes off a small amount of waterusage. Because this is such a small amount you barely notice it happening but by sticking to the times set by the pebble by watching its colour you will slowly cut down on how much water you are using in the shower. This helps save on water and energy bills as you use the shower for less time.

The Waterpebble approaches the idea of saving on water usage from a gentle reminder standpoint. It does not stop the water, or scream loudly that you have used too much, it simply runs through coloured lights. These lights are set in a traffic light sequence we are all familiar with to show us when we are being good and using not too much water by glowing green, informing us we have used enough and need to finish up, but glowing amber, and then finally turning red when we have used too much water and it is time to stop.

The Waterpebble can be reset at any point and so a new baseline reading can be recorded. It has been designed to be recyclable, though as it can be reset it can be easily passed on to others who could benifit from it. The Water Pebble costs just £7.99 plus delivery.

The H2Orb is an eco-gadget that can be installed between the water supply and the toilet hose, with a special toilet bowl sensor and a tank sensor unit. With all of these sensors, the H2Orb can detect excessively running flushes, toilet bowl overflows and checks for leaks. The device costs just $127, but will pay for itself in a single year by preventing leaks.

When a leak or overflow is detected, the H2Orb will shut off the water supply to the toilet and report a status message on its display. This quickly minimises the damage that would otherwise be caused by leaks and overflows. Of course, by stopping leaks and overflows, you’re also saving water. Saving water reduces your water bills and does the environment a little good too.

The self-powered Bware Water Usage Monitoring Meter designed by Ariel Drach gives you a real-time display of how much water you are using on the integrated LED display. The Bware units use the flow of water to generate enough electricity for the display.

The Bware units are made from recycled ABS, and will log the flow of water on an internal data logger. There are plans to incorporated some wireless networking ability so that the data can be logged on a centralised computer. I think that using WiFi is a bit ambitious given it’s power requirements, but something like ZigBee would be more realistic.

The concept of a pervasive water monitoring device sounds great, but I’m sure the novelty will wear off pretty fast in the home. So having a meter near the main water supply is probably a better idea.
