50 Liters is a shower head designed to make water use visible during bathing. A clear plastic storage tank is placed in the middle of the refined copper body. Water is injected into the tank in direct proportion to the water leaving the shower head, so the marked scale shows consumption in real time. A full tank indicates that use has passed fifty liters. A blue gradient on the tank suggests that resources are reduced when showers are long. The tank drains through a hole at the bottom when the shower is closed. No electricity is needed.
