A suprisingly simple idea - yet one that I can see could be quite beneficial. Especially for elderly / young etc...

I want one on EVERY tap in the house. Cool to look at but even better when you have kids like me. I can see it like Wulos, an incredible safety device!

Show ones would be great too!...but thats just for fun!

Great for people with mixer taps that have lost their scenes of touch.

Agreed I would also install them on most sinks in the house. Unfortunately the blurb says it is only available in the USA, does anyone know how their taps differ from the rest of the world?

They don't. The taps are the same. It might just be that theres no one in Aus that is allowed to install them as yet.

Great idea, would be good for kids etc too.

What happens when it's 'warm' water? I didn't really read it... Or should I? lol

It only changes to red once it reaches 89 degrees (Fahrenheit I assume).

looks like habiby damadleb has cornered the 'fooly sik VL commo wit da bigg chilla and 'psst' valve while pumpin my kick'n doof doof stezza' section of the Bunnings plumbing section to me...

ok, i can see the uses for kids and the elderly. but seriously, we all grew up by learning which is which without gimmicks like that.
just another 'get rich quick' idea IMHO.
