There has been a lot of talk lately about the need to conserve water today since it’s becoming a limited resource. And, since the best way to conserve water in the home is in the bathroom, I decided to try out a water-saving showerhead.

At first, I thought it would be hard to install, but it took less than 10 minutes and required very little effort. If you’re curious how installing a water-saving showerhead works, check out this post where I explain how easy it is.

My husband was a little skeptical of the whole “water-saving” aspect and worried that he would no longer be able to enjoy strong water pressure showers. I think we’ve both been pleasantly surprised by our new showerhead! Our new water-saving showerhead hasn’t reduced the comfort of taking a shower at all! I actually like it much more than our old showerhead!

Many water- and/or energy-saving showerheads work differently. The showerhead that I chose has a “pause” feature that stops the flow of water when it reaches bathing temperature, and when I’m ready to hop in, I pull the lever and take a warm shower. That precious warm water isn’t wasted down the drain while I’m running around, brushing my teeth, making coffee or on the phone.

Even though it’s just the two of us in a small apartment, we are seeing the benefits of this showerhead after only a week. Since we do live in an apartment, our hot water heater is smaller than most, so our hot water is extremely limited. With this new water-saving showerhead, we can each take a warm shower without the water getting cold before the last person is ready to get out.

I could totally see how this would work the same way in a house with a normal size water heater and a family.

I love my new showerhead, and I am recommending them to everyone I know! These showerheads don’t strip you of your comforts and they pay for themselves over time with amount of water you save! Duh, get one today!!!
