The Return on Investment for High Performance Shower Heads is over 100%. Simply, if you spend $40 you will save $40 or more each year. By comparison to stock market gains, this return on investment (ROI) is through the roof. Pressure regulated high-efficiency or high-performance shower heads save about 40% of the water required by conventional showers, because they reduce the water flow from 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm) to about 1.6 gpm.
New models provide ample pressure, and for a family of four, the savings can add up to hundreds of dollars per year, mostly due to the reduced need to heat as much water. A $40 shower head will save more money than $4,000 of solar panels before federal and state incentives! To learn more about the savings from GREENandSAVE’s overview on Shower Heads.
