Dual Shower Heads

Dual shower heads are part of a growing trend to run regular bathrooms into personal spas. Previously, a bathroom consisted of a bath tub or a shower (or a bath tub with shower fixtures). These days, bathrooms have a separate tub and shower, heated flooring, steam showers, massaging shower heads, Jacuzzi tubs, and dual shower heads, among other things.

Of course, it seems that this new bathroom trend is coming at a time when exorbitance is the norm, but conservation is necessary. Dual shower heads, while extremely nice and relaxing, are a problem in two ways:

· They use much more water in the same amount of time than a regular, singular low flow shower head.

· People showering beneath dual shower heads may become very relaxed and end up taking longer showers. A longer shower means not only using more water, but also using more energy to heat that water.

So, before you go out and buy dual shower heads are some of the other spa-like bathroom fixtures available on the market today, consider first whether or not it is truly worth it. And if you do decide to buy dual shower heads (which you very well might – they are quite nice), consider buying low flow ones, and consider using them only when you most need to relax. You do not need to use them every day – you can save them for special occasions.

It is a law that no shower head can deliver more than 2.5 gallons per minute – look for a dual shower head that delivers even less (and, perhaps, only 2.5 gallons per minute when the two shower heads are combined).
