5 out of 5 stars Pays for itself in water savings...   October 17, 2008
I live in an area where water rates are high... With a family of four, our new house with excellent water pressure came with a water bill that was four times that of our previous house, which was in a different water district. I found my water bills to be over $100 a month higher than my previous residence. I can't cut all my water usage, but the showers were an area where if I could save a gallon a minute, it would add up quickly. My washer is a high efficiency unit, so that cannot be improved upon...

I searched for water saving options, and wanted to stay with a shower head that would allow for handheld use. I have 4 full bathrooms, and initially purchased this unit at Home Depot, which cost me $53 dollars with tax. I expect to say at least $10 a month with the one unit alone, more than likely $20 a month, but at any rate, it will pay for itself in a matter of months. Amazon, with free shipping saves you $10, by offering this at $43, a quicker return on investment.

This shower head is made of plastic materials, which most are, and I see no issues with the construction. Installation is made much easier with this showerhead, which comes with its own tool for installation. After removing the old showerhead, this one should only take a matter of a few minutes, if not less time. With fewer parts needing to be joined together, the possibility of leaks is less. I look to see more installations like this one in the future.

4 people showering daily more than likely amounts to 25 - 35% of my water bill... If I save $10 a month, I'm ahead in less than a year... And we only have one environment to protect...



2 out of 5 stars Too low-flow   October 16, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I purchased this item locally.

While this item does indeed save water, it provided me with the most UNsatisfying shower I have ever had. I understand that reducing the flow of the water is the intended goal, but when you have to shower an extra five minutes just to make sure you are completely rinsed sort of defeats the purpose. I have no water pressure problems, so unless I installed the item incorrectly, then the showerhead is completely to blame. One good thing is that it was very easy to install and I was done in less than five minutes.

As an added note, the "pause" function does not stop the water, it merely reduces the flow a little.

There are other showerheads out there that reduce water flow while still providing an adequate or even above-average shower experience. I previously owned an Oxygenics handheld showerhead that puts the Waterpik to shame. I will be returning this item to the store immediately.



5 out of 5 stars Love it!   October 15, 2008
I think there must be several slightly different products out there, all called the same thing. But the difference in construction translates to significant result-differences. I have a model bought from Home Depot that is all metal -- not plastic. And it works great. No sagging, properly aligned, etc.

I find the water pressure to be great but it so happens that without the restricting shower head, residing as we do at the base of a hill we have *huge* water pressure just ordinarily. So by the time water pressure gets cut down by this device everything is still most satisfying for us.

I enjoy the 5 water-style settings and also a feature that allows you to cut the water flow almost altogether while lathering. This works very well for us for additional water savings. It's actually more comfortable to lather up your hair this way than step out of the shower altogether as this way you get a trickl of warm water on the rest of your body; it's nice!

There are 5 water-style settings: mist, oulse, regular sprinkle, gentler pulse, broad-ring of water sprinkling. No name for these on the insert, so this is just from memory. I find these spray patterns are significantly different (to my surprise) and do offer a difference that's valuable.

We have been using the device for two weeks; it's possible the novelty will wear off but so far I'm enjoying the variety of sprays a lot.

We also own the version with a hose that disconnects, good for children. I believe the unit can be bought fixed to the wall. The additional convenience of the removable handheld shower head seems worthwhile to me.

Be careful which unit you purchase; it does seem that there is no distinguishing numbering system to differentiate wall-mounted, hand-held, plastic, etc...



2 out of 5 stars Hope you have decent water pressure and you are taller than 5' 3"!   October 4, 2008
Don't let the photo fool you. This product is all-plastic, which is disappointing for the price.

Yes, it saves water, but at the expense of flow. The massage setting isn't even close to a massage, and the shower settings are almost useless. The water saver setting reduces flow; I was expecting a shut-off valve.

The handle attaches to the pipe mount at the bottom, which positions it higher than most handles. If you're short, you can't reach it.

I uninstalled it and reinstalled my original shower.



5 out of 5 stars The best low flow shower head out there   September 12, 2008
I purchased one shower head two months ago to test its performance. Too my surprise, I cannot notice the difference between my old 2.5 gpm shower head and the new 1.5 gpm. My frist experience with low flow shower head was in the 90's. Those were just mist with restricted water flow. Water was never hot enough. For the Ecoflow, I specially like the water flow control that allows you to save more water depending on you need. It works so great I have purchased another one already.
I have also researched other models as well, like the Labybug. It auto shuts off water once it reaches certain temp. That does save as much water as having the abilty to control water flow while maintaining the same temperture.
In summary, if you want to save water and not compromising on the shower experience, this is the one.
