low volume shower heads

[al128]

hi there,

does anybody have any good leads on those showerheads which supposedly help you save a lot of hot water?

thx for sharing thoughs/experiences

I've got a hot lead on them:

The hardware store

They're like $4 (likely less)

My main problem with them is getting the wife to accept a low-flow showerhead.
I just installed it anyway, she'll have to cope...

My favorite is the one from walmart. <- I know I know.
The one i have is tiny and has a valve for P&G showers.

Or you could not shower at all. Saves lots of water

Low volume shower heads are virtually mandatory for the mobile shower trailers we use on remote site work camps...I;ll see if I can find the manufacturer....we also have a valve release on the filter that restrains water.

I simply lowered the flow rate of water into our home. It didn't cost me anything. We have a flow regulator attached to the main line as it comes in the basement.

That and I take like 2 minute showers anyway. The girls are the one who waste water in the shower and they complain that they don't feel like they are getting clean with the low-flow heads. Better to keep the "faster" shower heads that way they are in and out quick, and not waiting until they "feel" clean....

I hate not having a lot of water.

Im also really hairy. I need lots of water.

I mean if I was bald and all it would probably work out.
