Many Shower heads before 1992 can use huge amounts of water. We are talking more than 5 gallons per minute. While this is nice to get the shampoo out of your hair quickly, it is never required and will empty your water heater very quickly. Causing unneeded energy consumption in addition to the wasted water. Low flow shower heads will help alleviate some of this energy and water waste.
So if you are in the market for a new shower head, make sure it has the "Watersense" logo on it. You can find many different low flow shower heads on our website.
