Water Saving Shower Heads

Example Floor Plan of Bathroom

After the toilet, the shower is the heaviest water user in the home, accounting for about 30 percent of the total household water consumption. Shower water use is a function of the flow-rate and the duration of the shower.

A reduced shower head flow rate is a very practical way to reduce water consumption during bathing, without sacrificing user satisfaction. This can be done by installing a low-flow shower head designed to operate at a lower rate, or possibly by installing a flow restrictor into the supply line.
