Showers are the largest single draw of water in most buildings, and heating that water is the second-largest use of energy in a European home. Almost nowhere is either one measured where it happens. Soweri measures it — with a device you put in the bathroom, and nothing else.
Your showers average 6.4 min. One minute less would save about 31 € and 290 kWh a year.
Under 5 minutes, nine times running. Three more for the next level.
This is yours. You own it and you decide what is shared. Nothing is recorded — the device keeps no audio.
This summer most of England was declared in drought after the driest July in nearly two centuries, and millions of households were placed under legal limits on how they may use water. Spain, Portugal, France and Ireland have done the same. Those limits are necessarily blunt — they apply to whole regions, because a region is the smallest unit anyone can actually measure.
of the energy used in EU households goes into heating water. Only heating the rooms themselves takes more — and the shower is where most of it leaves.
On a wall, on a shelf, wherever it suits the room. No plumber, no pipework, no wiring, no permission from anyone. Nothing in the bathroom changes and nothing touches the water. The Pod runs on a battery, learns the room it is in, and turns what happens there into numbers.
It reads the room, not the pipe. That single decision is what removes the plumber, the cost and the disruption.
One bathroom takes moments. A whole hotel takes an afternoon, and no guest has to be moved.
No camera. No audio kept. Nothing from inside the room is stored anywhere. Only the result ever leaves the device.
Litres, euros and carbon appear while the water is still running — at home in your hand, in a building across every room at once. That is the seeing. What follows from it is the point.
less energy used once people could see their consumption during the shower itself. A randomised trial across roughly 700 households — measured behaviour, not a survey. Visibility alone did that.
Most solutions in this field pick a side. Soweri was built for both from the start — the same device, the same intelligence, read two different ways.
Your own use, live and in your own hand. Set a target if you want one, or simply watch the number. Most people need nothing more than that.
Hotels, housing and public spaces. Consumption room by room, comparison between properties, unusual use flagged — a tap left running, or water where a room should be empty — and water and carbon figures ready for reporting.
Soweri is a data company that happens to ship hardware. The Pod is the straightforward part — inexpensive to make and, in time, copyable. What accumulates behind it is neither.
A new bathroom is not simply another customer. It is another set of conditions the models have never met, and it sharpens the reading in every room already running. An asset of that kind cannot be bought. Only accumulated.
Comparison against buildings genuinely like your own, patterns that become clearer the longer they are watched, and figures that hold their shape in front of an auditor. The device bought last year is more accurate this year.
Aggregated and anonymised, this becomes the first real picture of how water is used at the point of use. As restrictions arrive, someone has to hold that evidence — and today nobody does.
Not a limit on it. Nothing is recorded in the bathroom, and nothing personal moves without a decision by the person it belongs to — itemised, logged, reversible. In a home the data belongs to the resident. In a hotel it belongs to the operator, and no individual can be identified in it. Everything beyond that happens by consent. Handled any other way, none of it would be worth selling to anyone, and rightly so.
Measuring a shower used to mean opening the pipe, which is why it was almost never done. Soweri reads the room instead and lets the inference do the difficult part — which is what makes it small, cheap to fit and possible to put anywhere. Every room it runs in makes the next one more accurate.
A resource under restriction has to be measured before it can be managed. Until now that measurement stopped at the front door.
