The egg timer has been given a makeover and a new use as a shower timer. It takes exactly 4 minutes for the coloured sand to flow through the timer, which gives you just enough time to scrub up in the shower. By encouraging you to shower in less than the average 7 minutes, ShowerBob saves you time and money on heating and water bills.
A strong suction cup attaches easily to your shower walls
It's so simple, it needs no battery and it's easy to read.

Good idea, simple and handy.
Unfortunately didn't work after several months. Sand got stuck at the top half and need to shake it in order to make it work everytime. Have ordered another one and let's see how this one will do.

This product is a great and simple idea for saving water especially if you want to stop the kids from wasting water in the shower. At first it was hard to shower within the 4 mins but we soon manage it just. —Sonia Robinson
Very helpful having 'bob'. The family took to him quickly. He's already cut shower times down and queues outside the bathroom too —Sandie
Great little gadget. We are nearly down to the time allocated! Unobtrusive and stays stuck to the shower wall —M Brice
Excellent idea and being so portable it has many other uses as well as saving water. —Roy Holmes
This gadget even makes my teenage son give some thought to how long he actually does spend in the shower! —Jan
Does what it says and doesn't look cheap or tatty in teh bathroom either. —Sean
This product was working really well and the kids loved using it. However, the front part falls off the suction cup easily (this remains stuck to the tiles well) and we think the front has cracked and water got in as the 'sand' no longer runs through the timer. I think the product is a great idea but needs to be more robust; we weren't rough with it, just using it in a wet place as expected. —Angela Davie
We have 2 teenage daughters but even they are now more aware of our water usage. This is a great little product. It looks very stylish and contemporary and it just works! —Nick Vessey
A simple yet effective timer that has made us all aware of our water use and helped us to cut down our shower times. Thank you! —E Birch
Does exactly as expected. We have had ours for a long time and it works perfectly. It definitely makes me think about the length of my shower. —Emma & Mark Herbert
