"The 17-by-17-inch Sevas water catcher is about the size of a bathroom scale, and holds 5 liters of water. The contraption lies flat over the shower drain to capture falling water as it heats. A silver push-latch plug can open or close the container with the push of your foot, and its sloping design funnels water into the container."
"The water catcher is made out of fully recyclable HDPE plastic with a stainless steel plug. The Australian brand also commits to planting two trees and offsetting carbon with every product sold, claiming that if its contraption is used once a day, it can save 1,800 liters of water annually."
"Though the 'big dry,' as Australians came to call it, broke by 2010 and water restrictions eased, old habits die hard, and water usage across cities in southeastern Australia remains lower than before the drought. The Sevas taps into those practices, and it's had resonance outside Australia too."
During Australia's Millennium Drought in the 2000s, residents adopted water-saving practices like collecting shower water in buckets. The Sevas water catcher modernizes this approach with a 5-liter device that sits over shower drains to capture water while it heats. The 17-by-17-inch container features a foot-operated plug, sloping design for efficient water collection, and removable watering spout. Made from recyclable HDPE plastic with stainless steel components, it weighs 2.6 pounds empty and stores vertically. The Australian brand plants two trees per sale and offsets carbon. Though drought restrictions ended in 2010, water conservation remains culturally embedded in southeastern Australia. The product gained international traction, selling out U.S. stock within months of launch.
