When you're taking a shower, it's important that the flow of water is constant and unwavering. This constant pressure showerhead ensures that you're not distracted by irregular pulses of water or interrupted by jets of cold air. It uses a pressure regulator to maintain a high pressure stream of water.
Reliable, high pressure water is extra important if your water comes from an irregular supply. This 1.5 Gallon Per Minute low flow shower head can compensate for low pressure systems. It works well with the cast iron or bronze pipes found in older houses, water pumps in RVs, and homes that rely on well water. The flow control technology maintains greater force at low pressure.
Using a low flow shower head is more comfortable, and it also saves money on utility bills. This ultra-low flow showerhead uses less than 1/3 as much water as traditional models, which means it can save more than 66% on water bills and water heating bills. It even uses less water than other low flow showers. The 1.5 GPM rate offers 40% savings compared to 2.5 GPM models. Replacing one of the low flow showerheads with an even more efficient Earth Massage shower will save approximately 7,300 gallons of water annually.
The pressure settings are continuously adjustable. There are 9 jets that deliver a turbo massage. They can be set from gentle needle spray to forceful jet, with a range of options in-between.
The constant pressure is achieved using a flow compensator. This compensator is built into the showerhead, which means that it can't be removed. If you're installing showers in a dorm or apartment where you pay for the utilities, then you'll want a tamper-proof model like this one. The compensator is superior to other low flow technologies because it doesn't cool the water down like air injection designs do. There's less temperature loss, which results in even higher energy savings.
The shower nozzle is self-cleaning. It requires no maintenance, and can easily be installed by hand without tools. The metalwork is chrome plated to resist corrosion. The plastic body is also waterproof and crack resistant. It's made from high-impact ABS Thermoplastic.
