high-Efficiency Showerheads

Replacing existing showerheads with low-flow showerheads saves 2,900 gallons per year for an average family. 

Indoor Savings

Showering is one of the leading ways we use water in the home, accounting for nearly 17 percent of residential indoor water use—for the average family, that adds up to nearly 40 gallons per day. A standard showerhead uses 2.5 gallons per minute or more. The showerheads we provide only use 1.5 gallons per minute saving over 10 gallons every time you shower.

FAQs

How do I know if my showerhead is a low-flow unit?

Look to see if the flow rate is marked on the unit. Anything under 2.0 gallons per minute is low-flow. Alternatively, we can provide you with a kit that allows you to measure the flow rate of your shower.

Do low-flow showerheads put out enough water to shower?

Absolutely. Most customers don’t notice any lack of performance with the showerheads that we provide. These units have been specifically engineered to give the maximum efficiency while still providing excellent service.

Do they really save water?

Yes. The average family will save 2,900 gallons per year. It’s like getting a free month of indoor water consumption just for making the switch.
