Upgrade Your Bath With One of These 9 Spa-Like, Low-Flow Showerheads From Amazon for Under $35

Many people depend on warm, relaxing showers to help start — and end — their days, but bathing can be costly for the environment. According to the EPA, nearly 1.2 trillion gallons of water in the United States is used annually just for showering, with the average family using roughly 40 gallons of water a day to shower. 

Since standard showerheads use around two-and-a-half gallons of water per minute (GPM), the EPA says simply replacing just one showerhead in your home with a WaterSense labeled model (that produces no more than two GPM), can save the average family up to 2,700 gallons of water every year. 

Luckily, water-saving showerheads are affordable and easy to find, allowing you to lower your ecological footprint and your utility bills at the same. From massaging styles to models with built-in water-cleansing filters, these nine spa-like low-flow showerheads from Amazon won’t set you back more than $25, and you can likely take on this showerhead upgrade yourself, even if your DIY skills are minimal and you live in a rental.

The only thing better than a showerhead with nine jet turbo massage capabilities is one that will lower your environmental impact. This self-cleaning showerhead has an adjustable massaging head that produces just 1.25 gallons of water per minute, so you can save up to 30 percent more energy and water every time you shower.
