1. A time based water parameter display and control apparatus for attaching to a water supply, comprising:

  • a union mechanism for connecting a housing to a water supply, said water supply delivering a mixture of hot and cold water to said display and control apparatus, said housing including an electrical circuitry, a programmable microprocessor and a power source;

    a temperature sensor that is in close proximity or in communication to said water supply, and said temperature sensor in electrical communication with said electrical circuitry;

    a water flow rate sensor that is in close proximity or in communication with said water supply said water flow rate sensor in electrical communication with said electrical circuitry;

    the electronic display affixed to a physical object in close proximity to said water supply and in electrical communication with said electrical circuitry, said electrical circuitry said having a programmable microprocessor that is designed to simultaneously show temperature, timing and water flow rate parameters on a said electronic display;

    a water control means in close proximity to said union mechanism, said water control means in electrical communication with said electrical circuitry;

    a timing circuit in electrical communication with said electrical circuitry, said timing circuit have the capability to display one or more timing parameters, wherein one timing parameter displays the cumulative time taken from the time water flow initiates;

    one or more activators that electronically communicate with said programmable microprocessor to allow the modification of certain software instructions;

    said software having programming instructions for modifying the defined time period and/or for performing an on-off sequence during the defined time period; and

    said water control means programmed by said microprocessor instructions to turn off the water supply after said defined time period.
