I spent about $140 total delivered. The company did not answer my first email request when I had problems. They Ignored me at first. Upon a second request they informed me they had no parts to repair it and that the warranty is only 90 days. There solution was to spend another $85.00 with freight for another unit. That would be over $200 for a product that has not lasted even a year. They need to make a more durable product or at least give you enough warranty to insure your monies worth. Sorry but customer service and poor warranty place this product in the junk category. You wont get your monies worth in time. was very satisfied with the operation of this unit and it worked fine for only about 9 months. I spent about $140 total delivered.

This one quit working “a while ago” according to my teens, I replaced the battery and it still doesn’t work. I called the company and I can get one on sale. They don’t last and the company doesn’t stand behind their product. The timer is a better idea.

Once water to the Show Manager is cut, it will not flow again at the full rate until the time has expired. This makes it impossible to take a "navy" shower, you have to leave the water running, and end up using *more* water than you would without it. I pointed that out to the company, they said they were going to make a version that would work strictly by the timer. I have not heard back. And even if the device did work as advertised, it is far too pricey. With water at 0.4 cents per gallon and a 2.5 gallon/minute shower head, the price of the device is equivalent to running the water constantly for 9 days. The device actually makes you use more water.

Three teenagers spending their lives in the shower. We never had hot water. In desperation, this past August Chase bought one of those Shower Managers. It caused some moans and groans, but they are in and out of the shower in less than 10 minutes now. I can actually enjoy a hot water bath now! We had a huge problem.

We were going crazy with the kids showering 30 to 45 minutes at least twice daily. Now they are out in 10 minutes! Sanity has returned to our household. Got one this past July.
