The Cullector™ captures the initial volume of cold water that is normally lost to the drain during warm up time before it exits the rose and then reintroduces the captured water back into the shower stream during the course of the shower. Other features include the ability to switch OFF and ON without needing to adjust the taps and a transparent capture and return container that indicates when it is time to finish up. The Cullector™ is a self-powered, DIY retrofit that allows people to enjoy a quality shower experience while saving money and the environment. Return on investment starts with the first shower taken.
The Cullector™ is installed in the shower and simply replaces the existing shower head and arm.
