Reduce Water Use with this DIY Water Flow Sensor

Reduce Water Use with this DIY Water Flow Sensor


If you're looking for ways to use less water, Instructables user tamberg developed a DIY water faucet sensor that shows you when you've used up a liter.


Using an Arduino, flow sensor, and colored LEDs, tamberg set up the device to change colors from blue to red when a liter has been used up. For simple tasks, like washing your hands, a Liter is plenty of water to get the job done. It's often easier to use less of something just by knowing how much you're really using, and this can help maintain your awareness. Some soldering is required, but if you're interested in building your own, check out the link below. To see it in action, check out the video here.
