Shower Miser
The Shower Miser is a device attached to your inside shower that helps to conserve water
especially when you are dry camping and are restricted to the amount of water available in
your fresh water tank and don’t have ready access to a water supply.
The device is installed on the incoming water line for the shower and will circulate water
from your water heater, back into your fresh water tank until the water in the shower comes
up to temperature. This prevents needlessly dumping your limited supply of water waiting
for the shower to heat up.
Operation
The device consists of a small valve and a blue plastic “dot” below the shower handle.
When the small valve (on the Shower Miser) is in the closed (OFF) position, wasted cold
water is directed to the fresh water tank. No water will flow through the shower head. The
blue “dot” will be dark blue when cold water is running through the shower plumbing. When
the water is up to temperature, the blue “dot” will change color from a dark blue to white
which indicates the water flowing into the shower is now hot. Turn the small valve the op
-
posite direction (to ON) and turn on the shower valve so water flows out of the showerhead.
The color change is obvious so there is no question when the water is at a comfortable
temperature.
As you shower, the small Shower Miser valve can be turned OFF while you use the soap, so
water will divert into the fresh water tank instead of down the drain, and it keeps the water
up to temperature, so when you turn the Shower Miser valve back ON, you immediately
have hot water to rinse with.
The Shower Miser system may vary depending on your model.
Filling the fresh water tank
Shower Miser will also fill the fresh water tank from inside the RV when hooked up to a
pressurized water source.
A pressurized water source must be connected to the RV and turned ON.
Check the tank monitor to see how much fresh water is in the tank.
Turn the lever on the Shower Miser to bypass the showerhead (OFF).
Turn the cold water shower valve fully ON.
Watch the tank monitor as the fresh water tank fills.
When tank is full, turn the cold water shower valve OFF.
When using the Shower Miser with pressurized city water hookups the fresh
water tank can overflow on to the ground.
