Low Flow Shower Heads

Typically 1.5 to 2.2 gallons per minute, fixtures equipped with non aerating flow controls delivering constant rate, unlike conventional water saver fixtures that deliver varying flow rates in response to varying align pressures. Non aerating flow patterns give the feeling that water is flowing at a higher rate than it actually is. Unlike the same flow rate or pressure conditions, aerating streams actually tend to feel lighter because they mix air and water. Non aerating streams are heavier, water only can feel stronger. Non aerating flow controls work differently in shower head aerators. Aerators add air to the water stream to make the flow feel stronger. Non aerating flow controls on the other hand work by producing dozens of parallel streams of water. When the shower head is open water flow is in the clear solid looking stream and does not splash. Objects are whetted quickly and evenly with less mess.
