What to Look For?
When attempting to invest in a water saving showerhead, you’ll need to examine a few factors. Below, you’ll discover some of the most pertinent ones to take into account.
Electric Shower?
If you have an electric shower you shouldn't install a water saving shower head, these generally have an integrated flow regulator, and adding further reduction in flow could cause water to build up in the heater tank and overheat.
Flow Rate
The unit’s flow rate is truly the most important. This figure will tell you precisely how much water the showerhead will utilise. Opting for a lower rating in this category can help you save an increased amount of money.
Typically, the flow rate on a standard shower running from the home combi-boiler uses 15 litres of water per minute. Most of the shower heads we feature here have a flow rate of 6-9 Litres.
Switching from a regular shower head to a eco model will reduce your water and heating usage by around 50%
Quality
It goes without saying.make sure you check customer reviews for any showerheads you are considering, and in general try ad stick to big name brands that have stood the test of time.
Warranty
Finally, you should know that some showerheads come with an extensive warranty. Truthfully, a lengthier warranty is always better. It’ll help to ensure that the showerhead lasts for an extensive period of time and will also deliver added peace of mind.
Now, it is time to check out some of the best products on the market. Reviews for the best water saving showerheads will be provided below.
