A Lower Flow

The Lowest Flow Showerhead uses about half the water that a traditional showerhead does.

So you flunked algebra, you’re helpless without your cell phone's nifty tip calculator, and it takes you days to balance your checkbook. Well, Einstein, this one is a no-brainer: Spend $12 on a showerhead that could save a family of four $250 in a single year. The Lowest Flow Showerhead averages 1.2 to 1.4gpm (gallons per minute), meaning it uses about half the water most showerheads use, saving you big water and big bucks. It also has a built-in soap valve – a handy button you can press to stop the flow for a moment, while you lather or shave, so you don’t have to go back and reset your temperature when you turn the water back on. Best of all, it only takes two minutes and not a single tool to screw the showerhead in!
