A typical shower head has a flow rate of up to 2.5 gallons per minute. A low flow shower head is specially designed to provide the same water pressure, but at a maximum flow rate of 1.5 gallons per minute. Installing one is a quick and easy process that will reduce your water usage by a third. more »

Before low-flow shower heads were introduced, the typical shower head provided approximately 6 to 7 gallons of water per minute at a water pressure of 80 lbs. per square inch (psi). The amount of water that comes out of a shower head is directly related to the amount of pressure, or psi, exerting force on it--the greater the psi, the more water will come out. Low-flow shower heads manage to use less water than older shower heads by restricting the flow of the water while maintaining the water pressure at approximately 80 psi. Most low-flow shower heads on the market today deliver between 3 to 1.5 gallons per minute at the same pressure as older shower heads. Therefore, consumers are able to enjoy the same water pressure as in older models while conserving water. Many low-flow shower heads also come with a shut-off valve (pushing a button activates the valve) to enable the consumer to save even more water by stopping the flow while soaping or shaving. more »

Shower heads are rated according to the number of gallons allowed to flow through per minute. The flow is also increased by the amount of air pressure mixed with the water. Older shower heads delivered between 5 and 8 gallons of water per minute at the standard 80 psi, but newer low flow models can deliver 2.5 gallons with the same amount of pressure. Low flow shower heads use air pressure mixed with the tap water to use approximately 1/2 gallon less water per minute than a regular flow shower head. Low flow fixtures tend to be more expensive, but help conserve water and electricity. Low flow shower heads are simple to install and remove and require very little know-how or tools. more »
