A Beautifully Simple Way to Save Water

We have gone back to first principals thinking to bring you a new innovative product through a Kickstarter campaign!

The Kiakoa Showercan might look like a modern twist on the classic watering can, and it is, but it’s also so much more!

It’s a quiet revolution in how we think about water, waste, and everyday habits.


1. So, What Is the Showercan?

At its core, the Showercan is a 4.5-litre (1.2 gallon) watering can, made from recycled plastic and crafted with a clean, design-focused aesthetic.

It’s designed to live in your shower, where it collects clean water that would otherwise run straight down the drain while you wait for the water to warm up.

Instead of losing that water, you save it, and reuse it.


2. Why Keep a Watering Can in Your Shower?

Most people don’t realise it, but every time you wait for your shower to warm up, you waste anywhere from 1.5 to 4 gallons (5.7–15 litres) of clean water.

By simply placing the Showercan under the stream at the start of your shower, you capture that water with zero extra effort.

It’s a seamless addition to your routine that turns waste into something useful — for your home, your plants, or even your toilet flush.


3. What Can You Do With the Water?

The water you collect is clean and usable — perfect for:

  • Watering indoor and outdoor plants
  • Flushing the toilet (just pour into the bowl — it works!)
  • Cleaning or rinsing down surfaces
  • Storing for later use during dry spells

It’s water you’ve already paid for. The Showercan helps you use it twice.


4. Designed to Belong

Unlike ugly, unwieldy tubs or buckets, the Showercan is designed to beautifully fit in.

Its sleek silhouette, circular handle, and soft colour palette blend effortlessly into your bathroom or balcony. It’s lightweight, durable, and made to be used daily.

This isn’t just about function. It’s about form meeting purpose — beautifully.


5. One Small Shift, Big Impact

Use the Showercan just once a day, and you’ll save over 1,600 litres / 430 gallons of clean water each year.

That’s better for your bills, your plants, and the planet.

And it all starts with placing a watering can in your shower.

The Kiakoa Showercan isn’t about being perfect.

It’s about making sustainability part of your space, quietly, easily, beautifully.

Assumptions & notes
• Warm-up capture per shower: 4.5 L (waste avoided)
• Avoided flush when checked: 5.5 L (potable water avoided)
• Total water impact (flush ON): 10.0 L per shower = 4.5 L + 5.5 L.
• Note: If you prefer to show potable-only savings, use 5.5 L; this tool shows the combined impact when flush is on.
• Fun converter assumptions: Sink ≈ 1.4 gal (5.3 L); Bathtub ≈ 30 gal (113.6 L).
• Weeks/year = 52.
