Water Lock is both a water meter and a locking device for use on bathtub taps that functions without consuming electricity. This automatic water-saving product designed by Prof. T.K Philip Hwang, Prof. Fan Cheng Kuei, Fu Shou Hsi, Wang Chih Wei, Hsu Wei Ling, Lai Yu Ren, and Chen Yi An from National Taipei University of Technology, Graduate Institute of Innovation and Design. Water Lock allows the user to set the desired volume of water for their bath, and leave the flow of water unmonitored. The flow will be automatically stopped when the set volume has run through the tap. The purpose is to avoid the wastage of water through the over-filling of the bathtub.
Water Lock simultaneously records and displays the water volume. When the water is flowing, it is ‘on’. When the flow is terminated, Water Lock is ‘off’. It uses the principle of a combination padlock for its operation. It is expected that the device would increase users’ awareness of their water consumption while helping them to avoid wastage. [via]
