It's easy to lose track of how long your shower's getting--especially when it's 10 degrees out and the only thing that roused you from bed was the vision of a steamy cascade of water. Well, Waterpebble is here to guilt you out of your wasteful ways.
The little round device monitors water going down the drain. It records the length of your first Waterpebble shower and uses that as a benchmark, then indicating via a series of gently flashing "traffic lights" when you need to get out of the shower already! Green tells you to start showering, amber means you're halfway through, and red means you should get ready to brave the icy air. (Wait, where's the light that tells you to stop singing before everyone in the house suffers permanent hearing loss?)

“It doesn’t cut the flow of water?”
Don’t worry, that’ll be Waterpebble 2.0.
Probably shouldn't change the battery in the shower, with the water running...
"Hey, did you know your car tells jokes?"
"No, really?"
"Yep. When is a door not a door?" (Opens door)
Mechanical voice - "A door is ajar"

Nice hot shower and use a scrub brush. Better than hot and long
I will shower for as long and with as hot a water as I bloody well choose as long as I’m paying the bills.
Take your pebble and insert it where the sun doesn’t shine you econazi bastages!
“HAD ENOUGH YET..everyone.”
I feel like I’ve been playing Whack-a-Mole for thirty years. It just never stops.
In Kalifornia they’re already investigating devices which allow the authorities to control the temperature in your house. Can devices to control the length and temperature of your shower be far behind.
screw them!
I’ll shower as long as the hot water lasts!
If that doesn’t suit me, i’ll change from a 40 to a 50 gallon water heater!
There is no such thing as wasting water or using it up. The water eventually filters back into the water cycle or the system after municipalities extract the waste from it.
The municipalities are also very good at extracting taxes from the water!
What kind/size heater do you have?
Marxist boot-licking idiots.

great comment- it hit my funnybone just the right way- you made my day!
It’s an 80 gal electric tank. Their is just two of us so I have never seen it run out of hot water.
That’s great!!!
OK, that ought to do it! Some years back, the five of us had a 40 gal and there were a few cold showers.
Well thanks for that mental image! /sarc
I have a well... I will defend my shower with deadly force.
