Comparing
water saver shower heads
Two types of water
saving shower heads
Aerated
low flow shower heads
Aerated water saver shower heads are generally the
most common on the market today. These low flow shower
heads pressurize the water flow with the addition of
circulated air.
This is done through an air chamber within the
shower head and before the release of the water flow. Aerated shower
heads provide the desired low flow of water with a comfortable
amount of water pressure.
Aerated models are extremely inexpensive, costing
anywhere from $4 to $25 each. It's important to note that aerated
models do have one negative. They can at times cool the water
temperature, due to the water circulating within the air chamber.
But keep in mind that this potential temperature
drop is minimal at best, and does not occur with all aerated water
saving shower heads.
Non
aerated low flow shower heads
Non aerated water saving shower heads are becoming
more common on the market as of late. These models further pressurize
by pulsating the flow of water through separate
streams, often referred to as jet
streams.
These jet streams serve as vacuum chambers and on
most non aerated water saving shower heads the water pressure can be
adjusted for further comfort.
Non aerated low flow shower heads are considerably
more ideal for those massage
loving shower
seekers; due to the enhanced comfort level provided by the
further pressurized multiple jet streams.
It's important to note that in general non aerated
water saving shower heads are a little more expensive than aerated
models. However they are still inexpensive, costing anywhere from $10
to $80 each.
