How Does an Automatic Shower Timer Work?

Using less water is a big benefit!

1. Using an automatic shower timer like Shower Boss is simple:


2. Set the shower timer to your preferred duration (such as 5, 7, or 10 minutes).


3. Each shower user starts the timer to activate the water flow.


4. The timer provides visible and/or audible alerts as the time runs down.


5. When the timer reaches zero, the system shuts off water flow automatically.


6. A programmed wait time begins, during which the shower cannot be restarted.


This process repeats for each shower session, helping everyone stick to efficient routines and cut down on waste
