Dawn at Frugal for life has posted about her tips and experiences with installing a new low flow shower head which is helpful for anyone who has not converted their shower yet (and an amusing read). She has also made a list of the new showerhead’s pros and cons.

Low flow shower heads save as much as 50% off your water bill as well as your energy bill (for not heating the extra water you didn’t use) which is good for the environment AND your savings account. Low flow shower heads mix air with the water to make it feel like there’s more pressure and to even out the flow.

    That explains why the curtains and towel were ‘blowing in the wind’- it was like taking a shower in a small windstorm when the water was full flast.

    I think they come in varieties that don’t mix with air too but I’m not sure. The shower windstorm sounds kind of fun though :-)
