Why Don't Low-Flow Shower Heads, Water-Saver Shower Heads or Water-Saving 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

Since most low-flow shower heads, water saver shower heads, or water-saving shower heads were designed to function well at higher than 2.5-gpm, with the restrictor added, the shower becomes a low pressure, more like a "waterfall" rather than than a high pressure shower most people have grown to expect and enjoy. The results of this are low user acceptance and high complaints!

The lack of 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, thus causing longer individual showers and greater usage and expense in showers.

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

First, there is "no restrictor" in this patented, water-efficient, and energy-efficient device. 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, a water flow control valve provides constant high pressure and water volume at 1.5-gpm (+/- 2%) at from 15-psi to 120-psi. No other shower head has this patented feature.

Fourth, engineered to be self-cleaning, no mineral deposit buildup and carries a 10-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 compared to low-flow (2.5-gpm) shower heads.
