Description
Color changes with the water temperature! It's blue when the water is cold or simply turned on. When the temperature reaches 89 F, it changes to red, alerting you that the water is getting hot! Fun and functional, it's ideal for the kids' bathroom and a smart gift for older people too. Works on most USA faucets and includes "universal adaptors" for 95% coverage.

Summary: "Really fun... For a couple of weeks"
Mine seemed to have worked a lot better than some other reviewers' lights, it reliably turned red at hot and blue at cold, although I would always try to find the exact spot where it was neither hot NOR cold, because it would light up purple :)
But, as electronics and water don't tend to mix, the chamber with the electronic parts, despite being "sealed," quickly stopped being sealed (I think water seeped in through the little holes that the thermistor was poking out from) and toasted the electronic parts. Now it's filled with rust and broken. Only after a couple days, one of the electronic contacts rusted over so badly that it wasn't making the electrical connection, and I'd have to take it off once a week and use a file to remove the corrosion, but after only about three weeks it began to fill with water, so I would diligently take it off several times a day and drain it, and that worked for a few months, but by then the water had set to work and it was only a matter of time before it stopped working altogether.
It's really cool, but I would consider carefully dotting the holes that the thermistor sticks out of with superglue or silicone or SOMETHING to keep water from getting inside, and "shake" the faucet after turning the water off so drops of water don't stick to the sensors and speed corrosion. I wouldn't even say that it's an inherent design flaw, since I don't know how else you'd pull off this effect, barring some "water wheel" method, which would probably just gum up and stop working anyway.
In conclusion, I really enjoyed it, it was a fun novelty (and great to help know when the water had changed temperature), but I wished that it had lasted more than a few weeks.

Summary: "So Cool!"
My water gets super hot, so I bought this to serve as a warning when the kiddos are washing hands(which we do a lot of) it goes from blue to red. Everyone who comes by has commented on how cool it is. It lasts a long time and has more batteries. Don't use harsh cleaner though, as the silver can wear off.
