Water-Saving Fixtures: Showerheads.

Plumbing fixtures are far more efficient than they used to be, doing the same job with a lot less water. Water-saving fixtures are now required in many areas by building and plumbing codes.

Low-Flow Showerheads

Taking shorter showers is one way to cut down on excess water use. But if you prefer a longer shower (especially on those cold days!!) you should consider installing a low-flow showerhead. Older showerheads will use 5 to 8 gpm, but a low-flow head will bring that down to 2.5 gallons or less with the same amount of water pressure and pleasant shower experience.

Some people don’t like low-flow showerheads based on past experience, but new technologies combine air and water for luxuriant “low-flow” showers. K & B Classics has many brands that deliver great showers at 1.5 pgm and it actually feels like 2.5; this can result in a 36% decrease in water usage compared to a high-flow system. (Please ask a consultant for more information.)

By installing low-flow showerheads you’ll be saving in two ways:

• The amount of water you use while showering
• The amount of energy you are using to heat your water.

A note on Shower Control Products – several manufacturers have devices designed to make it easier to:

• Waste less water waiting for a shower to warm
• Turn the shower off when soaping up
• Take shorter showers
