Water is a precious commodity, and being conscious about our water use is becoming increasingly important. One of the easiest ways to save water in your home is to use a water-saving shower head. In this article we explain what the product is, how it works and why it is worth installing one in your bathroom.
What is a water saving shower head?
A water saving shower head is designed to reduce the amount of water flowing from the shower head while maintaining water pressure and effectiveness. These shower heads have been specially developed to reduce water consumption without sacrificing the shower experience. But how does this technology actually work?
The operation of the product
These smart shower heads use advanced technologies to optimize water flow. By integrating (water) flow restrictors or adding air to the water flow, the powerful pressure of the water jet is maintained. While actual water consumption decreases. This is not only good for the environment, but also saves considerably on water and gas bills.
But not every variant is equal in quality. There are still products that deliver less water, but produce a water jet that is too weak. This makes showering less pleasant. That is why it is important that you choose a product that actually provides a pleasant shower experience. We are happy to tell you how to do that.
Benefits of use
Using a smart shower head goes beyond personal convenience. It's a small step that yields big benefits, both for the environment and for your wallet. With reduced water use you contribute to the conservation of precious natural resources and lower your water bill. On average, with EcoRain products you will earn back the product within three months. A huge return on the one-time investment.
The different variants
The market offers various models, each with unique features. From rain shower heads to hand showers and complete rain showers : there is something for everyone. When choosing the right shower head, factors such as water pressure, design and ease of installation are very important. But comfort also plays a major role.
Many water-saving shower heads not only provide a weak water stream, but also have a small shower head. This means that comfort is lost, which is of course a shame. Therefore, avoid shower heads with a size of 10 cm, as they are too small. It is also nice if your new shower head has multiple spray settings, so that you can vary. Below we tell you which product is best to purchase.
