Low-flow showerheads are designed to reduce water usage while maintaining a satisfying shower experience. They typically use less than 2.5 gallons of water per minute, compared to standard showerheads that can use up to 5 gallons. This technology helps conserve water and can lead to lower utility bills. These showerheads often incorporate features like aerators or pressure-compensating valves to ensure a steady flow of water. By using a low-flow showerhead, households can significantly decrease their water consumption, contributing to environmental sustainability and promoting responsible water use in areas facing water scarcity.
