Types of Low-Flow shower heads

Water is an increasingly precious resource. Heating the water for showers in our homes and commercial buildings is pic 1a significant portion of our energy costs. When most of us think of low-flow shower heads products we think about good products that get the low-flow goal but don’t quite measure up to what we are accustom to.
The first attempts at low-flow shower heads used aeration technology. These devices lose heat more quickly and create a spray mist instead of a comfortable stream. The early shower heads were an attempt to minimize water use but resulted in a not so not positive shower experience. Today shower heads that save water do not compromise on comfort or style. Many plumbing fixture manufactures have matured to match a consumers requirement for comfort and style with water efficiency. Let me walk you through the math.

Some shower heads combine water-saving technologies. For example, the Evolve shower head pictured here offers low flow at 1.59 gallons per minute but also features an ingenious valve that allows you to save water and the energy used to heat it before you step into the shower. You can turn on the water to let it warm up and go brush your teeth—the valve automatically reduces the flow to a trickle once the temperature reaches 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, when are ready to shower, you simply flip the valve for full flow. Evolve estimates the head saves about 8 gallons of water and the energy to heat it for every five-minute shower. Over a year, this can save you more than 2,000 gallons of water. It costs about $30.
