Guilt-free power shower

 
I read an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal last week about low-flow, water-saving showerheads. It reported that while nearly everyone wants to save the planet, few are willing to start their day standing beneath an impotent, dribbling shower.

The problem is that many people--me included--find that standard showerheads, which spray 2.5 gallons of water per minute, are simply too weak and ineffectual. Hey, we all want to save water, but most of us also want a showerhead that feels like a fire hose. Hence, the conundrum.

Fortunately, Delta Faucets may have the answer: a high-performance, water-saving showerhead that delivers a soaking, satisfying spray. 

The Delta H2Okinetic Technology Water-Efficient Showerhead is an ultra-low-flow device that delivers just 1.5 gallons of water per minute, but you'd never know it by its heavy spray pattern.  

This new showerhead is specially designed to spray extra-large, drenching water droplets that massage the body and stay hot longer, unlike the air-dispersed, quick-to-cool misting spray of other low-flows.

The Delta Model RP54752 H2Okinetic showerhead fits all standard shower arms, is available in four finishes (chrome, bronze, stainless and pewter), and retails for about $41.
