Since having a power shower installed my kids are each spending over 20 minutes once or twice a day in there.

It's causing a backlog in the mornings with everyone trying to get ready for school/work, aside from the extra water and cost I'm running out of ideas on how to get them to spend less time in there.

I got a waterproof shower timer that you press for 4,6,8,10 minutes but of course, it beeps and the button gets pressed again.

So, I was thinking of using more of a timer to the shower unit itself, was looking at MCB's with a built in timer- has anyone used anything similar, or suggest anything else?

I have gone in for a dump a couple of time to gee my daughter along, but she's got wise to this now and it's turned into a staring match which I invariably lose...

Ta,

J

Tight arse,

Unless you are running out of hot water i suggest you get up earlier and shower before the others.

If its just a regular pump then that would be easy to put on a timer. Preferably outside the room so that its a pain to reset whilst still wet.

If its an electric shower (9-12kW) then it would be a pain to time and would have to involve contractors etc.

Also taking a dump whilst you daughter is in the shower is grim.

Thanks for the replies.

Although perhaps I should have stated telling my 8 year old daughter I'm dying for s poo and pretending to go whilst sitting on the loo hasn't hurried her up...

Just turn off the hot water supply to the shower when you want them out. There'll probably be a valve in the airing cupboard
