The Potamoi story

The Potamoi is not an ordinary flow meter, you can use it in the freeflow mode and in the controlled mode. It’s a device that can cut off the water supply to the shower. It’s an ally that can help you and your household make savings on your water and energy bills.

The Potamoi, a family story

Parents of 3 children, we live in the High Pyrenees départément in the south west of France. 
Christian was born there. Sarah, originally from the south west of England, followed him over 30 years ago.
In  2015 our eldest son, like many teenagers, took to taking long showers, up to 20 minutes! We realised that lots of our friends, family and colleagues were having the same problems in their households too. After many discussions, much patience, and attempts to make him be more reasonable, we decided we needed to take action and find a way to cut the water off. We couldn’t find anything that could do the job, but thought it would be a good thing to have, so Christian set to; inventing a device to manage and limit water in the shower. So that is how the Potamoi story started …

Breakdown of water usage in French households

In France, an average shower takes  4 to 5 minutes using between 60 and 80 litres of water. An average shower head has a flow of  12 to 20 litres per minute.

If every user reduced the quantity by 30 to 40 litres per shower, the savings would be from 11 000 to 14 500 litres of hot water, per person, per year. With water and energy prices in France at present (summer 2024) that translates as (approx.) 110 € to 145€/person/year. Multiplying that number by the number of people in your household you can estimate the savings that can be made.

The Potamoi

The Potamoi is a self-powered unit that is fixed between the mixer tap and the shower head, the extra piece of shower hose is supplied with the Potamoi. It is fixed on the wall with an industrial strength type of velcro, so as not to damage the tiles.

During the shower, the screen shows the countdown of the quantity of water used, starting from the quantity defined on the app. The Potamoi cuts off the water when the limit is reached. A reserve can be made available by the administrator ‘just in case’.

So that the user can’t just start another shower straight away, the valve remains in the off position for 3 minutes. After this period, another shower can be started. All the parameters for water and time can be personalised.
