Showerheads Water-saving showerheads use to two to three gallons of water per minute.
Conventional showerheads use four to five gallons per minute.
In selecting a water saving showerhead, it's important to find a model that fits your personal preference. Models with a shut-off button at the top of the head allow you to conveniently stop water flow while soaping up. Using Less Saves You More Your best opportunity to save energy is to use less hot water. The shower is typically the greatest consumer of hot water in a home. You can determine whether your shower is a good candidate for a new showerhead with the help of a one gallon bucket and a watch with a second hand.
