Water-Efficient Showerhead: Earth Massage

052008earthmassage.jpgOur old bathrooms and old showerheads meant short showers since the hot water would come out in full force and run out quickly.

So, we just picked up an Earth Massage showerhead and life is better - both in terms of water usage and by enjoying our great, warm showers again...

It's not as pretty as the chrome and nickel showerheads out there, but this plastic 9-Jet turbo massage sprayer costs only $9.99, so we could easily pick up another for our second bathroom without second thoughts.

All product details here.

Interesting... is there a noticeable difference in the water pressure?

Any interest in reporting on a shower head equipped with a 'pause' option? (may be something more for re-nest...I should check that daily also, but I'm a designer first, so AT main is my homepage...)

We just picked one up, after some discussion about our water waste (we are attempting the smallest footprint possible). I had read something about the "navy shower", and thought it was spectacular...to pause the water flow while you're scrubbing up, and turn it back on to rinse. Of course, we were already attempting to shorten our showers to less than five minutes, so now it's even less time the water is actually on...and that's something to be proud of.

betsbillabong: the pressure is lighter but still great. wouldn't say it's all that noticeable. no complaints here!

these are fantastic. my apartment company has these in all of their buildings and i must say, i love them. i'm someone who needs very adequate water. i have very thick curly hair and with poor water pressure shampoo and conditioner doesn't rinse out. i've never had a problem with these!
