Pressure regulated high-efficency 'Low flow' shower heads save about 50% of the water required by conventional showers, because they have a 2.5 Gallons Per Minute (GPM) flow rate as compared to the conventional shower heads that use 4 or 5 gallons per minute. This also saves energy because less water must be heated for the shower.

New models provide ample pressure, and for a family of four, the savings add up to hundreds of dollars per year and thousands of gallons of water. Look for Eco-Friendly shower heads that have at least 1.6 GPM flow rate and a 'Full Spray Pattern'.

The ROI Calculation is based on three low-flow showers.
