EcoSavers Melting North Pole Educational Shower Timer

EcoSavers Shower Hourglass - Melting North Pole (5 Minutes)

Did you know that by reducing the time you spend in the shower, you can significantly contribute to saving water and energy (needed to heat it), and thus reduce your carbon footprint and have a positive impact on the environment? The EcoSavers "Melting North Pole" shower hourglass is an extremely inventive, educational and eye-catching gadget that will uniquely help you (and your family!) control your bathing time. Its unique hourglass design not only measures the optimal 5 minutes for a shower, but also symbolically visualizes the impact of our energy consumption on global warming - watch as the white "snow" covering the North Pole gradually "melts", revealing blue water! It's great fun combined with an important lesson in ecology.

Save Energy and Protect the Planet (in 5 Minutes!) - Hourglass Main Features:

• Unique and Educational Design ("Melting North Pole"): It's much more than just a timer! Inside the transparent case of the hourglass is a miniature model of the North Pole covered in white "snow" (actually fine sand or granules). When you turn the hourglass over to start timing, white "snow" begins to flow to the bottom, gradually revealing a blue base symbolizing water. This visual "melting" effect is a powerful but accessible metaphor for the impact of excessive energy consumption (including heating water in the shower) on melting glaciers and climate change on our planet.
• Timulates Optimal Shower Time - Exactly 5 Minutes: The hourglass has been precisely calibrated so that all the white "snow" flows from the upper to the lower chamber in approximately 5 minutes (with an allowable tolerance of +/- 10%). This time is widely recognized by experts as optimal and completely sufficient for a comfortable and hygienic shower bath, while allowing for a significant reduction in water and energy consumption compared to longer showers.
• Simple, Reliable and Completely Battery-Free Design: The classic and time-tested hourglass mechanism requires absolutely no batteries, complicated electronics, charging or any maintenance other than simply turning it upside down to start keeping time. It is always ready for use, works reliably in the humid bathroom environment and is completely maintenance-free.
• A great educational tool for the whole family: Thanks to its engaging, visual nature and simple message, the "Melting North Pole" hourglass is an excellent tool for learning how to save water and energy and for building ecological awareness in children from an early age. It shows in an accessible and almost playful way that our everyday choices affect the planet and that everyone can contribute to its protection.
• Easy Installation on Smooth Surfaces Thanks to the Suction Cup: The hourglass is equipped with a solid suction cup located at one of its ends. This allows it to be quickly and easily attached to smooth, flat and non-porous surfaces in the bathroom, such as shower cabin glass, mirror or very smooth, shiny tiles without any texture.
• Important Note Regarding Installation on Ceramic Tiles: The manufacturer strongly advises against mounting the hourglass directly on most standard ceramic tiles. Even if they seem smooth, they often have minimal irregularities, porosity or joints that prevent the suction cup from working correctly and for a long time. This may lead to loss of tightness, weakening of the mounting and, consequently, to the timer unexpectedly falling to the floor and damaging it. The safest surfaces for installation are glass and mirror.
• Made of Durable and Safe Materials: The hourglass housing is made of durable, transparent plastic, which ensures good visibility of the "snow" flowing process and adequate resistance to typical bathroom conditions. The product has a registered industrial design and intellectual property protection around the world.

Easy Way to Make a Shorter Shower:

1. Choose an appropriate place to mount the hourglass inside the shower cabin or next to the bathtub - it must be a perfectly smooth, clean and dry surface, preferably a glass or mirror.
2. Press the suction cup firmly against the selected surface to ensure good adhesion.
3. Before starting the shower (or right after entering), turn the hourglass over so that the chamber with the white "snow" is at the top.
4. Watch the snow melt as it flows into the lower chamber. Try to finish your shower before all the "snow" disappears from the North Pole (i.e. within 5 minutes).
5. After use, leave the hourglass attached or remove it and store it in a dry place.
