Hi,
We have a problem in a hostel where some of the 'guests' stay far too long in the electric power shower so that the hot water gets drained too quickly and the late-comers have to shower cold. This causes a lot of grief.
So, what I'm looking for some sort of timer that can be wired into the electrical supply to the power shower pump. This would start the timer and after a pre-set time lag, the timer will switch on another circuit to activate say a buzzer (or whatever). The idea is that the buzzer will let the guest ( and the others) know that the recommended time has elapsed.
Ideally, the time lag before switching on the circuit (buzzer) should be adjustable but be in the range of 4 to say 10 minutes.
Now, there's a challenge for you guys. Any ideas?
Yvonne
