Low Flow Shower Heads

You will have come across the view that a shower is a more water efficient way to wash than taking a bath… but that’s not always true in real world scenarios. While a speedy shower is more often than not more water efficient than a bath, a number of high-volume showers will use more in five minutes than it does to run a bath.

Aside from how long you spend in the shower, the volume of water you consume depends on the type of shower you have, and the shower head attached.

What is a low flow shower head?

Ecocamel’s low flow shower heads: Air is bubbled in with the water, reducing the amount of water used but allowing a soft bubbly flow without any loss of water pressure.

Our aerated shower heads work by mixing water with air, reducing the overall amount of water that’s needed. Other water-saving shower heads simply lower the flow rate or include the fitting of a flow restrictor to the head to save water.

Could a low flow shower head benefit me?

To see if a low flow or water saving shower head could benefit you, put a two-litre container in the shower floor – if it takes less than 12 seconds to fill when the shower’s running on full, a water saving shower head will cut your usage.

Our range of low flow shower heads are the best shower heads for low water flow problems. The mixing of the air with the water causes turbulence and an increased sense of pressure from the head, whilst using less water than a traditional shower head.
