Shower Heads

Water usage is just one of the many expenses with monthly bills. A substantial amount of water usage comes from showering and bathing. What you may not be aware of is that the type of shower head you have could be negatively affecting your water bill.

In recent years, the advent of low-flow shower heads has been helping people reduce their overall water usage costs. You might be surprised to learn that even a short, 10- to 15-minute shower can use a minimum of 20 to over 100 gallons of water with older shower heads. New low-flow shower heads can reduce the water usage by up to 50 percent or more.

Restricted flow shower heads work by forcing the water through extremely small apertures. As a result, the actual water stream ends up being smaller but the pressure of the water is increased, making the difference almost unnoticeable. See the article below to learn more about shower heads.
