Low Flow Shower Heads Do Save Water.

Low Flow Shower Heads
Selecting the right shower head for economy and ease of use can be a challenge.
Here is some helpful information to assist you.
Why is low-flow the way to go? Older shower heads use between 3 and 6 gallons (15 and 30 L) of water per minute, whereas newer, low-flow models use less than 2 gallons (10 L) per minute – and you won’t even notice the difference in water pressure.
What you will notice though is that your hot-water use will be reduced by up to
50%, which will cut both your electricity and water bills in the process. A family
of three could save between $175 and $190 per year (depending on whether
they use electricity or natural gas to heat the water) just by switching to a low-flow
shower head.
Which shower head is best for your needs?
• Aerating shower heads mix air into the water stream. This maintains steady
pressure so the flow has an even, full shower spray while using less water.
• Non-aerating shower hears deliver a strong spray minus the air. The water flow
pulses, giving you a massaging effect.
• Mutltiple-flow shower heads allow you to set the spray from fine to coarse.
Some even feature a pause setting, which allows you to stop the water while soaping up, saving even more. The big tip here? Remember to use it!
