Water Pik Gets Approved for the WaterSense Label

Water Pik, Inc, a leading developer and manufacturer of many leading healthcare products when it comes to technological advances, became certified to bear the Environmental Protection Agencies(EPA) WaterSense Label on July 1st.  Seven of their line of advanced shower heads including the EcoFlow 5, 6, and the Watersaver passed the test.  Richard Bission, president and CEO of Water Pik said "We're thrilled the EPA has recognized seven of our shower heads with the WaterSense label so far and we're committed to working with the EPA to encourage consumers to make water efficient choices in the bathroom."

In order to be awarded the WaterSense label, a shower head must have a gallon per minute flow rate of 2.0 or less at a flowing pressure  of 80 pounds per square inch(psi).  It must also be able to hold this consistant flow rate across a wide range of pressures and also must have a consistant force and coverage while adhering to the first two priorities.

Shower Heads Too Strong, Drains not Strong Enough

A new hospital in El Camino, California has a problem with  high pressure shower heads that deliver too much water and drains that retaining too much water.  The patients are being asked to not take showers until they can fix the problem.  This is most likely going to cause a stinky situation.  With 85 to 90 percent of the patient rooms, having this problem it is likely to get very stinky.  I guess they will have to resort to the old way of doing things, sponge baths.

Holiday Inn installs high-pressure shower heads

One owner of Holiday Inns, David Hart, says "It's time to refresh all the system's hotels.  It's time to make sure that there's not such a gap between the best one and the worst one.  Trying to re-establish the reputation of Holiday Inn as chain of quality hotels at a fair price.  They are trying hard to push their market up with the likes of upscale hotels such as Hilton and Marriotts while conserving the costs associated with the upscale hotels.  Changes to the hotels include softer towels, high-pressure shower heads, which is a personal favorite of mine, and the ever popular high-definition flat screen TV's.
