After the toilet, the shower is the second heaviest water user in the home, using up to 30 percent of total household water.
Having a high efficiency showerhead is a very practical way to reduce water consumption during bathing. It not only reduces your water bill, it reduces your sewer and energy bills as well. This method of water conservation has a very short payback period, often as short as a few months.
Typical non-conserving showerheads have flow rates of 5 to 8 gallons per minute, meaning that a typical 5-minute shower would send about 25 - 40 gallons of fresh water down the drain and into the sewer.
By contrast, the high efficiency showerheads being exchanged by WASD use only 1.5 gallons per minute, or 7½ gallons for a 5-minute shower, reducing water demand by at least 50%. (courtesy of SAHRA - Arizona Board of Regents website)
WASD’s high efficiency showerheads are a fashionable white and include built-in massage, on/off valve and a swivel head for user comfort and convenience.
