As the world’s population and economy continue to swell, excessive water consumption is causing some major environmental problems including the degradation of rivers, wetlands, and bays. No need to give up your showers. Just save water with an inexpensive Low-Flow Shower head and faucet aerator. They’re easy to install and are reported to reduce water flow by up to 44% without reducing your water pressure.

In case you don’t know, low flow shower heads and aerators are ordinary shower heads that let water flow at a rate of 2 gallons per minute (gpm) . . . or even less. Ordinary shower heads, however, use 3-4 gpm. Simply installing high-efficiency shower heads and faucet aerators will therefore save about 12 gallons per shower and a predicted 7,800 gallons of water per year. All in all, a savings of 44% over non-conserving shower heads and a great way to cut down on water and energy.
