Water Saving Shower Meter

Aquatrak has been developed to help us all save water. An average household uses up to 30% of its water usage in the shower. Aquatrak is a simple device that will monitor the water usage during your shower and display it in real time. It is expected that by monitoring your water usage in real time you will reduce your water consumption while you showering. The product objective is to change your behavior to reduce water consumption.

The Aquatrak product has been developed to be very low cost with the objective of reducing our water consumption. Every little bit helps. Even a 5% reduction in water consumption will pay back the cost of the product in less than 1 year. After some months of using this product I have noticed a significant reduction in our water consumption.

Aquatrak is battery powered and uses the latest in ePaper display technology that consumes zero power when inactive and the display remains active. The unit operates on a single 9V square battery and depending on the number of showers should last typically 6 months.

Aquatrak is a product developed and invented by Mark Barber from Extron Design Services

History

This product was the result of comments from my daughter. As a firefighter for DELWP in Victoria she was complaining there was a horrible shortage of water for firefighting during the 2019/20 fires in Victoria. I was told invent something to help with the water shortage. After a number of months of contemplation Aquatrak is the result. It also helped that during the lockdown here in Victoria I had the time to develop a new product.
