Water Saving Shower Heads

Ultra Low-Flow Shower Head

There are dozens of brands of shower heads now available that are even more conservative but still offer excellent performance. These ultra-low flow shower heads may use between 0.8 and 1.5 gpm. The same five minute shower then uses no more than 7.5 gallons, compared up to 40 for the conventional type.

By careful design, many low-flow and ultra-low flow shower heads can offer performance and user satisfaction equal to any conventional unit. This has been demonstrated in many independent tests, for example Consumer Reports magazine at regular intervals since 1985.

Ultra-low flow shower heads either draw in air, or have it forced into the water stream by using compressed air. The air-water mixture under pressure creates a high velocity spray which increases subjective impact.

These very conservative models can save 61% of the water which would have been used by a non-conserving head, and about 30% more than the low-flow model shower heads. If you are in the market to buy a new shower head, make sure that it is a water conserving model!
