Low Flow Shower is not a bad thing!

I love to take showers and being a mom of three, sometimes this is my only break during the day.
Sometimes I get to enjoy a long shower, but this only happens if this kids are down for a nap or intently watching a movie.

Here is how I can enjoy my long showers without feeling guilty about it, installing a low flow shower head. Installing a new shower head is not hard. You just unscrew the old one (make sure to save it, if you live in an apartment building, so you can reinstall it when you move) and with some plumbing tape ( so it doesn't leak) screw the new one on.

Here is a low flow shower head to take a look at;

This is the

Lowest Flow Shower head

from Real Goods

It boosts a 50% to 70% reduced water use saving the average family about 250 a year. It runs about 2.25 gallons per minute with a built in soap-up valve.

What is a soap-up valve you ask? A soap-up valve is a button on the shower head that you can push during your shower to stop the water and apply shampoo to your hair or soap to your body, further reducing your water use.

This shower head will only set you back $12 plus the cost of shipping. And is one of the sites best sellers.

Nice! Thanks for the information. I think this may help me keep my 7 year old boy from taking 30minute showers and then winding up with a $300 water bill every three months. NOT COOL!
