Tips On Choosing A Shower Head Water Saver

By Patrick Kelly


Most people nowadays are becoming more meticulous when it comes to efficiency. They are now doing the practice of reducing wastage through lessening the amount of water to be used in a particular purpose. Efficiency may not only talk about reducing the amount of potable water but as well as non potable ones to be used in flushing the toilet and watering the plants.

This is also emphasizing the influence that consumers can get when they reduce wastage of water and try to select more efficient products. Doing full loads in dishwashers and in washing machines, fixing leaking taps, and taking showers are some of the efficient steps. And for the reason that showers became very popular nowadays, this article will share with you three simple ways to choose a shower head water saver.

A shower is a place where in a person will bathe under a spray in either cold or hot. Most showers contain a spray pressure, temperature, and also contain adjustable nozzles. Most of the countries are making use of showering process because it is efficient compared to the bathtubs. It only uses less water. In comparison with bath, shower has 80 liters and bath has 150 liters.

So here are the tips in selecting the right shower head. First is you have to consider on who will make use of it most of the time. If it is to be placed in the main bathroom, you may choose one that has multiple settings. But if used for the kids or for the guests, you may choose the simplest one.

Second, you have to select from the different spray patterns. The volume per minute, range, and direction are the important factors to be observed in this step. But volumes may vary, depending o the brand or type of unit. A spray that contains strong concentration is best for heavy uses such as having a long hair. But in normal showers, massaging jets type or rain like droplets can be used.

Third, saving money. Almost all showers are containing rates from WELS or the water efficiency labeling and standard. Its rates ranges from between 0 to 6. The higher the range, the more efficient it is. The standard types often have 25 liters per minute in its volume. But for the units that are rated by WELS as three star, it may only have 7 liters per minute in volume.

These are being measured by its flow. So the trick now is to have low flow showers that will satisfy you while using just a small amount of its flow. The pressure will affect the flow, so if there is a great pressure in the pipes and shower heads, the volume will increase. So even if you do not turn it on in full blast, the result will still be the same because of pressure.

The two main types of showers that are low flow are the regular or stationary type and hand held models. The hand held model has a holder, mounted to the walls. The shower can be placed or removed from its mount. This is perfect when you wanted to control the flow.

These hand held models are very expensive compared to the regular type because of its flexible hose. Hand held models are more versatile and more efficient. The reason for this is you can just direct its flow.
