i think it's great but am i the only one who thinks 299 USD is way over priced? Also how is this not going to be copied all over?

@ourielohayon It doesn't seem super expensive to me. Definitely a higher end product, but there are plenty of comparable priced shower heads out there.
If this truly provides the experience they say it does, a 5 star experience, that actually uses way less water and feels as good or better than most shower heads out there, then I don't see a problem with the price.
I am excited to try this out!
@ourielohayon If it saves people money it is well worth the investment. This is especially true for gyms, hotels, and other entities that incur substantial water heating costs. On top of that there is the intrinsic value associated with being less wasteful and helping to conserve water.
@ourielohayon They have a calculator on their site (which, admittedly, isn't an unbiased source). Taking one five-minute shower per day in NYC would save someone $63 per year (gas heating) / $163 (electric heating). Whether they're copied and sold at a cheaper price is another matter.
@calc@ourielohayon this is probably true (or close). My problem is that shower water saving is not something that is a needle mover (a drop in water?). Fixing the water saving issue has to be addressed where it really is: parks, golfs, pools, ...that being said it looks like a great product and if it was reasonably priced (99/150 USD range) it would probably be a big(ger) hit
How does the nebia affect the genius ideas i come up with during the shower? I know @rrhoover is very curious too. Highest priority in a shower, personally.
Nebia is in the Summer 2015 batch of Y Combinator. The founders had over 500 people at Google, Apple, Equinox and YC test their water saving shower -- and they took the feedback from their early users and built something that is both beautifully designed and incredible feeling.
This looks absolutely awesome. I've wanted a smarter shower head for a while, especially one that is easy to "pause" while getting soap or something like that, without losing the temperature setting. Is that included in Nebia's design, @pwints28@gparisiamon?
Also, .
@lachlanjc Hahaha, I love this video! The pause feature is something that we are strongly considering for the final version. It's good to hear that it is requested.
@ghobs91 Andrew, we deal with mineral deposits much the same way a regular shower does. They can be removed with a solution. Nebia is no more effected by mineral deposits than a regular shower.

I bet I can order a container of these from alibaba before the kickstarter is complete. not a bad thing, but just hard to compete at their price point when its a commodity that will def get copied.
The level of brilliance here is uncanny. Not only have they made a product that saves 70% of water on a normal shower, but they also claim it still delivers a good shower... I'm skeptical but listening.
I, along with everyone else on the planet, that's had a low pressure shower knows it feels nothing like a good shower. So how do we know (without trying it first hand) that this one has the feel of a high pressure shower? Oh, well they had it tested by some guy named Tim Cook, and a bunch of other folks with very high standards and respected opinions, and they loved it so much they invested in it.
I'll take 2.
@kristofertm Nebia is a totally new experience of water in a shower. What we've found with the over 500 testers is that it doesn't make sense to compare to "pressure" levels of a regular shower. This is a completely new sensation, soft immersive, people say much more relaxing.
Apparently designed at @RadicandLab :) It looks awesome guys

Are there any places to try it out? Serious question.

@noinput That would be nice to find out. I don't know many people that would throw down so much money to preorder a small appliance without getting a tryout
