Why Don't Most Low-Flow Shower Heads Work?

The vast majority of low-flow shower heads, water-saver shower heads, or water-saving shower heads (2.5-gpm) are "restrictor-type" shower heads that were designed to function well at 6 to 10 gallons per minute (gpm) or more. There are three main problems with restrictor-type low-flow shower heads, water saver shower heads, or water-saving shower heads:

People know that "restrictors" are easily removed and thrown away and do so! This action defeats any savings potential; and

The lack of high water pressure in most low flow shower heads, water saver shower heads, or water saving shower heads also causes difficulty in rinsing shampoo and conditioner from hair, especially for long hair, causing longer individual showers and greater usage and expense in showers.

Caution!  In multi-family housing, many low flow showers, especially non-aerated types, have additional maintenance labor expenses associated with the travel to the location for removal of corrosion buildup or to replace the failed shower unit.  These additional labor maintenance expenses may easily exceed the price of the showers, normally $5 - $7 per unit.   This is especially true in high chemical content (hard water) areas.  This additional expense of cleaning and or replacement becomes a non issue when purchasing self-cleaning showers with extended warranty. 

Here's why the 1.5-gpm "Jet-Stream" Showerhead® Works!

First, there is "no restrictor" in this patented, water and energy efficient high tech device. Many restrictors are easily removed, thrown away, thus defeating any potential savings.

Second, an air chamber creates turbulence, mixing water and air and you actually shower with bubbles that explode on the body with high velocity and a constant massage feeling for the user!

Third, an automatic water flow control valve provides the feeling of constant high pressure and constant water flow rate of 1.5-gpm (+/- 5%) from 15-psi to 120-psi. No other shower head has this patented feature.

Fourth, all "Jet-Stream" Showerhead® models include an anti-scald feature that is easily engaged when the water is too hot or too cold by pushing the swivel shower head away from the body at least 45 degrees.

Fifth, engineered to be self-cleaning, no mineral deposit buildup and carries a 20-Year Replacement Warranty. Estimated product life is 30 years.

Last, it provides greater usage savings of 40% to 70% on the three shower-related utilities (water, sewage and hot water) compared to low-flow (2.5-gpm) shower heads.
