Low flow shower head can save water and money over time.
You can change out a 2.5 gallon per minute ( gpm) to a 1.5 gpm ( some old shower heads maybe putting out as much as 4 to 6 gpm ) and reduce your water usage about 40% or more. This will not only reduce your water usage , but save you money !



You will also save on your hot water cost by using less hot water, if you take the same length shower as before , and you won’t run out of hot water as fast , if you have problems running out of hot water when one or more showers are taken back to back. You may also think of installing a tankless water heater, which will give you endless hot water and save on your energy consumption.
You can choose from many different brands such as Moen, Kohler, Delta, Price Phister , etc.
There are many styles to choose from , ones that have many functions such as body spray, mist, fan spray, massage, hand held 5 functions, and single spray. To find the one that fits your needs you may want to purchase a few shower heads and install them to see which you like best and take the other ones back.( Installing a shower head is very simple ) One thing I can say is don’t go too cheap, the cheap ones don’t seem to last more than a year or two.
You can spend $ 6.00 to hundreds of dollars. A good brand for a single spray will run around $20.00, a good multi function will run around $40.00, a good hand held will run about $90.00
Some shower heads also mix air with the water this is an aerating shower head.
Another type is a non-aerating shower head which has no introduction of air.
More than 25% of water usage in America comes from shower usage, that’s a lot of showers and hot water.
You can find a low flow shower head that will give you a satisfying shower, while saving a few bucks !
