Well I told you a few blogs ago that I was headed to The Home Depot to buy a new shower head. Well I finally got around to it today and we are all hooked up now and saving water! So we went with a Delta H2Okenitic shower head. I also bought a cool little in line toggle switch that shuts the water off at the shower head, making soaping up (body first, then hair!) guilt free. Anyway, the shower is pretty nice, and at 1.6 gallons per minute there is a noticeable difference in the amount of water being used. The industry standard is 2.5 gallons per minute, and the current lowest flow head is .5 gallons per minute! However we were interested in finding a shower head that didn't force the water out into a "stinging mist" and our new one is pretty good.....for your upper body. I noticed that when I stood at the far end of the tub it was a little misty and a little hard to wash a specific area like your knees or feet, unless you could somehow get them above your head and near the shower head!
So I am encouraging each of you to try a new low flow shower head. I want to see some other low flow shower heads out there and I want each of you to buy one and try it out and write me a review. Earth kudos to the person that gets the low flow head that performs the best! Here are a couple that we should try: the Bricor B100 Max 1 GPM, and the Real Good Shower Head 1.4 GPM.

The showerhead sold by Real Goods has been used on submarines at least since the 70's. It has an ON/OFF slide switch to turn off flow while you soap up (it actually dribbles a bit which comes in handy). I've had one for most of 20 years. I have long hair and no problems. I like it fine. My wife doesn't ? ? ?
