  • you actually want a good flow rate with most showers, particularly power showers

    This device is not designed for power showers or electric showers, just your standard tap mixer shower... don't see how you would do any damage fitting it to what it is designed to be fitted to as it is only like turning the tap down a little... :confused:
    :D
  • Just ordered, they say it takes 42 days to arrive - will wait and see

    This doesn't work on electric showers by the way

    As long as people realise this - otherwise it could be pumping against what in effect is a blockage.

    So that makes it useless for at least 75% of people

    So why not 'just turn the tap down a little' then, yourself?

    It really is the most useless peice of crap I have every seen

    ...because I can get an effective (if used correctly) little device that does the job for me...:beer: also means anyone else using my shower doesn't necessarily have to have me in there to check they are not using too much water... :p
    :D
  • Have just received mine and fitted it really easily. am looking foward to the savings now!:T

    Your obviously not listening - I showed this to the plumbers who I work with and they couldn't stop laughing! They couldn't understand why anyone would want to take a working device and make it work WORSE!
  • I was given one of these by my sister in law. We don't need it as our shower apparently is efficient enough (we tried the test inside the box). Can't get rid of it on Freecycle. Does anyone want mine?
