Here is something handy to have if you want to make sure you want to clamp down on water waste on your end. Shower timers are a great way to make sure you have a timed control of water usage when you are taking a bath, something in a different but familiar make that should be great for your bathroom setup.

This is a 5-minute Hour Glass Shower Timer, something that should make sure you don’t end up leaving the shower open and alerting you when it is time to get out of the shower. The timer is made of plastic and a suction cup makes it easy to stick on your bathroom wall.

Too bad it doesn’t have integrating features onto the pipes to really make it something awesome to have. The timer is available from Curiousite for about $7.08.

Today we are all encouraged to conserve electricity. There are various ways to do this such as:

1. Turning off lighting when not really in use
2. Unplug idle appliances
3. Turn to energy saving appliances based on energy star ratings

But what might catch the eyes of many would be the new gadgets being introduced in the market known as sockets with timers. They have a timer when set to a certain number of minutes will cut off the power flowing through the appliance or gadget that is using the energy flow.

At times, we tend to forget these plugged devices and thus adding to our utilities expense woes. At extreme cases, they can even be a cause for fire in the homes and you can just imagine the help they can generate.

A word of caution though. Make sure that you buy the tested ones and not socket timers that are of inferior quality. They are bound to originate from China or France and doing a little research on the web with regards to their reliability and specs would not hurt and requires little effort.

Should you Consider Socket Timers?
