[title=http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/dp/wtd_underline.gif]wtd_icon.gif What's this about?[/title]
E.On, in conjunction with the big water companies, is offering UK households a free ShowerSave water regulator (worth around a fiver). The ShowerSave claims to regulate your water flow to prevent you from wasting water and reduce your yearly bill (up to £46).


[title=http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/dp/wtd_underline.gif]wtd_icon.gif How to get them...
[/title]
To get your free ShowerSave visit Shower Save (click on the banner on the right hand side) before 31 May. Select your water company and it'll redirect you to their order page. Add the freebie to your basket and proceed to checkout. You won't be asked for your card details, only your address.

If your water company isn't listed, simply pick one of the others, it doesn't matter if you're not supplied by that water company.

If you choose Wessex Water, Severn Trent Water or Anglian Water then you'll also get a couple more water saving freebies: a save-a-flush (saves you one litre every time you flush) or a self audit leaflet.

[title=http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/dp/wtd_underline.gif]wtd_icon.gif Does it work?[/title]

If you've got an electric shower or one with multi-jets, unfortunatly you won't be able to use the ShowerSave. The jury's out on how effective this is - ShowerSave claims the gadget can save around £45/year if you're on a water meter but previously MoneySaver plumbers have said "I can safely say these are as useless as a chocolate teapot!". Yet it's free so give it a go and if it doesn't work simply ditch it.

Why's EON doing this?

Energy suppliers are obliged to help customers become more energy efficient via grants and offers like this one.

[title=http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/dp/wtd_underline.gif]wtd_icon.gif Any restrictions?[/title]

The offer's limited to one per household and includes England, Scotland & Wales. It's subject to availability but there are around 200,000 left. You'll have to allow 28 days before delivery.

Thanks to matsgullis for the top spot.

    Shower regulators like this cannot be used with electric showers, just those run from the bath tap or power showers. Got one through the post today, no idea why, as I didn't request it!!

    When we tried ours, the water ran so slowly we had to jump around to get wet.
    It might work for others but we were not impressed!:(

    I had one delivered yesterday, also unrequested.Unable to use as have an electric shower. It seems an awful waste of resources to just dump it in the bin so was wondering if anyone had any ideas how it could be best used. Was thinking most people probably had one delivered so freegle was probably a waste of time. Scrap metal merchant maybe?:(

    Hi all,

    I have a power shower. Am I correct in assuming that this product will work with a power shower ?

    Thanks
