Save Some Green on Your Next Water Bill

Just turn on the shower and walk away ... it's OK. You'll improve your morning routine and stop feeling guilty about wasting all that hot water. After you've completed brushing your teeth, using the toilet, making the bed ... simply return to the shower, flip the Evolve Shower Start's switch to resume the flow and shower as usual.

Install a smart shower trigger and you'll be experiencing all the comforts (without the inconvenience) of conservation.

Water is becoming more scarce. If you’re like most, you’re probably wondering if there’s really anything you can do about it - and most importantly, if there’s a way to make a difference without having to endure inconvenience and sacrifice.
No sacrifice. No inconvenience. It’s the new generation of friendly conservation. Evolve ShowerStart … it’s a start.
  • Saves hot water and energy
  • Conservation without sacrifice, inconvenience or a change in your morning routine
  • Does not restrict showerhead flow
  • Easy installation – fits between showerhead and shower arm
  • Lowers utility bills
Instead of conserving water while you're taking a shower, you can use a smart shower triggerand save the hot water that's wasted before you actually get in. The result - save time, hot water energy and money without giving up a single thing. Installation is quick and easy. Just place the a smart shower trigger in between your showerhead and shower arm. It's that simple.

If you choose to install one of the these smart shower triggers let us know. Either Heather or George would be more than happy to make sure they are installed correctly and that there are no leaks.
