What Is a Low Flow Shower Head?
A low flow shower head is a replacement fixture for showers. It’s used to reduce the amount of water flowing through the shower’s tap. Regular shower heads emit twice as much water as low flow fixture types. Low flow shower heads can reduce energy costs as well as conserve the important environmental resource of water. The two main types of low flow shower heads are aerating and non-aerating. Aerating shower heads allow air to flow in with the water. This creates a softer, even spray. A non-aerating low flow shower head design doesn’t allow air in the water stream. The result is a harder, more massaging type of water flow. Some non-aerating low flow shower heads have adjustable massage features. Installing any type of low flow shower head is usually a simple and quick process.
