## Description

Introducing our newest ShowerStart TSV product. Keep your routine. Save your hot water. ShowerStart TSV attaches to the shower head of your choice forever changing the things that bother you most about your shower. Gone are the days of standing around waiting for the water to get hot. Gone are the days of family members letting the shower run endlessly, when no one's in it. Gone are the days getting the last shower of the morning and running out of hot water. Installation is about as easy as changing a lightbulb, doesn't lower shower head pressure or flow and saves thousands of gallons of water, as well as the energy used to heat it - year, after year, after year.

Review: Works as advertised. - This is a great, low-lift way of saving water. I'm honestly surprised there isn't a competitor making this product, too, after all of these years; it must be patented. We had the original version at our previous house. In that one, the cord broke after a few months (not too much of a problem, just an annoyance) and the little flipper stopped being effective after a couple of years. This version has a cord that seems sturdier, and time will tell how long the product lasts. But, even if it's just a few years, it will have paid for itself a few times over in water savings, if our previous experience is any indication.
Review: I loved the older versions of this product, but they cheaped way way out - I had one of the original ShowerStart TSVs back in 2017. It was a metal component, well made, and still works great. I bought some of the newer ones, thinking they'd be equivalent quality. They are not. They have all either failed within a year of installing, or failed IMMEDIATELY upon installing. Leaks out the back, threads just stripping and dropping a showerhead off, cracks appearing at the mold seams. The product is still a great idea, they just got too cheap with the manufacturing. Go back to metal construction, and I'll buy another

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love these for kids and adults that let the shower hot water run long after the water is hot!!
*by C***E on 12 June 2025*

Love these for kids and adults that let the shower hot water run long after the water is hot!! The plastic threads on these are fragile, so that's the only thing I would say is a detriment to this product. Be careful when putting on the pipe and attaching the shower head, or whatever other outlet
