Really interesting. It's the principle of how the home can be more efficient and at the same time generate savings of water and money

This is a great idea and the guys behind it are equally great. Hope this takes off and helps people think about their water consumption and makes the future a better place for future generations.

I can imagine this being useful in certain Indian cities (where water is relatively expensive). The self-powered part makes it super awesome!

Your marketing is awful, please stop self-advertising and get someone that actually knows what he's doing. The idea is great this is just a marketing problem now.

i read the description and there are 2 things that you might want to improve:

1. how does it help me? why would i want to install it?

2. if i am convinced i want to install it ... you need to have a better design - it should look cool and be basically not noticeable

Thanks for your comments. We are working in communicating our message better. The design is not final and right now we are focusing first on the functionality while keeping the design a close second. We do have some new designs on the lab right now that will be used as an update to the campaign in about 2 weeks. I'm sure you'll like it. It is smaller and as you mentioned, becomes less noticeable.

Thanks Eduardo. We are aware of it and are working on making our message better. Being finally out in the open is teaching us a lot and showing us our opportunity areas. This is a project not a product yet and will be continuously improved.
