This 0.5 GPM shower head uses a fraction of the water used by other water saving showerheads. It will help conserve water and cut your utility bills at the same time.
The Ultra Low-Flow shower head is the ultimate water saving tool. It uses less than a quarter as much water as other "low-flow" showerheads, and it still does a great job of lathering up soap and steaming up the mirrors. Enjoy a long, high pressure shower without a drop of guilt.
There are a lot of low-flow shower heads that help save water and cut your water heating bill, but this one is the most extreme. It's much more efficient than 2.5 GPM or 1.5 GPM models, and it delivers the same great shower feel while using only half a gallon of water per minute.
The Ultimate low flow showerhead uses a single nozzle to create a spinning cone of water that quickly covers a wide area. This spinning water creates a pattern that feels just like a constant spray, but it uses a fraction of the water. The spraying water rotates faster than the eye can see (up to 1500 rpm at high pressure) and evenly distributes water. The water spray is very powerful and creates a tingly feel similar to massaging shower heads.
The UltraLow Flow Shower Head has a black adjuster sleeve that gives adjustable control over the flow of water. Using the sleeve, you can set the width of the spiral from narrow to wide aperture. At the widest setting, there is a gap in the center of the spray pattern. This gap comes in useful if you have a sunburn, are wearing a bandage, or simply want to keep part of your body dry while taking a shower.
This high efficiency shower head is made in the USA. It is manufactured from anodized aluminum, brass, chrome plated brass, pure silicone, and recycled polypropylene plastic.
The amount of water that any shower head uses depends on the pressure of water flowing through the nozzles. This ultra low flow showerhead uses roughly half a gallon of water per minute at 60-80 pounds per square inch. The average pressure in a city water system is 60-80 PSI. For comparison's sake, here are the exact water flow rates at various pressures:
0.40 GPM at 40 PSI
0.49 GPM at 60 PSI
0.57 GPM at 80 PSI
Even if you fall asleep in the bathtub, an hour-long shower with the Ultimate Half Gallon Per Minute Showerhead will use only 30 gallons of water.
An important note for customers living off the grid:
If you rely on water from a well or pump, it's important that you set the motor to cut on at 65 PSI and to cut off at 80 PSI. If you don't know how to adjust your well controller, please call a professional plumber before purchasing this shower head and make sure that your well is compatible.
