chances are you have a shower head that looks something like this in fact this is what came with
my house and then i saw incentives from my local municipality to upgrade to something like this
hello i'm Wanderer001 and this will be my review of the niagara sava spa shower head
and like i said chances are you probably had something like this show up in your local
water provider with an incentive where it's hey buy this and you know you can get it for five
dollars shipped or a dollar depending on where you're located and this is a reduced gallons
per minute shower head the one that i showed you originally was a 2.5 gallons per minute water flow
shower head this one is a 1.5 so that is a one full gallon reduction of water usage for me
the shower head itself well come up here and take a look at it is made up of abs thermal plastic so
it's it's pretty much plastic that's made to look like it's got a chrome finish on it so i had one
like this before that will wear off in time you can see it is 4.4 inches wide so it's a nice size
shower head without being overly large and you've got lots of little rubberized holes for the water
to come out of and that is what makes it more eco-friendly because that will reduce the water
flow now the one thing to consider is you are probably getting this because you want to either
save water or save money or both you could be that kind of person i generally side more with
saving money just to give you an idea of the packaging that this particular eco-friendly
shower head came in for me i was trying to save money by saving water this shower head
has me kind of mixed in that yes it clearly uses less water than my previous shower head
the problem is that it does that by having a less powerful spray so for me i checked my
water logs and found that even after months of using this my actual water usage has not
gone down and that's primarily because the forcefulness of the shower head is not great
it actually takes longer to rinse so for me this actually kind of negated its own point by making
me take longer showers even though you know i will turn off the shower while soaping up because
that's just something i got in the habit of doing when i was staying with a friend this is it's not
it it is not powerful enough and i will show you what i mean now so minus the horrible tiles
that i need to replace this is this is your your water flow out of it it does disperse quite nicely
but it's just it is not super powerful i'll stick my hand over there give you an idea
it's it's just it's not that great so if you're considering something like this that you saw
from your municipality or you saw this in a store and went wow that's really cheap i'd
love to save water consider what i said it's low pressure it's going to take you longer yes
you'll save air quotes water but in the long run you'll use more water or about the same
as one that had a gallon per minute more not terribly technical not super techy
but just figured i would throw that out there because this is one of the things that i was
really anxious to get when i got a new house when i could actually replace the shower head on my own
and i was a little disappointed so i will be looking for alternatives in the future if you
know of any please feel free to leave some in the comment section below i'd greatly appreciate
that my wife would too because she hates this it's just not enough pressure for her but i'm
reluctant to go back to the other one because i paid for this and put it up with that being said
