Today’s bathrooms are more than merely necessary rooms. They are mini-getaways from the world. The old fashioned, utilitarian home bathroom has been replaced with a spa-like retreat and the centerpiece of this luxury is in the shower. Few things beat stress like a relaxing hot shower at the end of a long workday.
Four years of drought in California and other places makes people wonder, however, if indulging in a comfortable shower is straining the planet’s limited resources. The good news is that water saving shower heads of all styles are better than ever! In fact, your old outdated shower is probably using far more water than an upgraded shower will. Since the 1990s, the rate of water flow through shower heads has been cut in half and some great shower heads are using less than a third of the water that older models used.
This means you can practice smart environmental sensitivity without sacrificing style and comfort! Here are some trendy shower head styles that can transform your old bathroom:
Rainfall Shower Heads
These comfortable shower heads reproduce the experience of standing in a refreshing rain shower. The waterfalls out in large drops rather than a stream. Major brands such as Delta, Moen, and American Standard are all producing rainfall models that use only 2.5 gallons per minute. Typically, these are large fixtures that bring a fun, dramatic look to the shower.
Handheld Shower Heads
Handheld shower heads have been popular for many years, but the latest generations include dual spray heads. One remains fixed and the other is handheld. These shower heads make for a comfortable shower experience reminiscent of a luxury hotel stay. With major brands making these in water saver models, you will not mind indulging. You will also appreciate how the handheld showerhead makes cleaning the tub and shower easy!
Body Spray Showers
These high-end configurations include multiple shower heads integrated into the wall. Good water pressure is needed and the shower will obviously use more water than other options. However, the experience is unmatched and water saver heads can still ensure responsible water usage. This option is becoming increasingly popular and major brands such as Moen and others offer body spray fixtures.
Other Popular Choices
There are a variety of other common choices among new shower heads including massaging shower heads and ultra-low flow products that reduce water usage to as little as 1.25 gallons per minute. There is a style, finish, and function for every taste and today’s market ensures guilt free showering with its high-efficiency standards.
