A small sensor inside the bath's overflow pipe. If it senses water passing -- the taps stops releasing water until a 'reset' button is pressed.
Leave your bath running - don't worry, it won't overflow and you won't waste water.

Why can’t baths work like washing machines? Set it for a big load with a hot wash, and then walk away. Wouldn’t that be nice? Why do you have to stand there like a Cro-Magnon, feeling the water while it fills. It’s just all so primitive. |

I used to live in Bath.
When I started to enter anything
beginning with 'b' in a submission
field while using a web browser it
would auto-fill "Bath". |

You could retrofit the faucet with a device like the float in the toilet tank. It doesn't require any electronics and gives your guests something to talk about. |

The float could be removable and the faucet should stay closed when the float is removed. That way you can keep the kids from unauthorized bathing. A float coated with bristles could double as brush for a delightful back scratching. |

Those damn clean smelling kids. |

I had the same idea today, but you beat me by a year. I think a timer-based control would be cheaper than a sensor-based one, though. |
