High Sierra Showerheads® - Solid Metal 1.8 GPM High-Efficiency, Low-Flow Shower Head with Pressure Control Valve that Shuts It Off to Just a Trickle - Chrome

High Sierra's 1.8 gpm showerheads are the newest and most innovative high efficiency GREEN showerheads available. The patented technology creates a spray that feels like a much higher flowing showerhead while saving potentially hundreds of dollars a year in water and energy. Construction is solid metal and the finish is polished chrome. The new transparent ABS splash guard creates perfect spray diameter and is available in colors to match any decor. THIS PARTICULAR MODEL IS EQUIPPED WITH A TRICKLE VALVE WHICH ALLOWS THE USER TO EITHER CONTROL THE STRENGTH OF THE SPRAY OR TO SHUT IF OFF TO A TRICKLE WHILE LATHERING FOR EVEN GREATER WATER SAVINGS. This showerhead is a Green Product, not only from the water and energy it saves, but also because of its compact design. High Sierra Showerheads TM are the smart choice for apartment owners, homeowners, schools, universities, military, health clubs, hotels -- or anyone looking for the most cost-effective way to conserve water and energy, and provide a pleasing shower experience at the same time. High Sierra Showerheads TM owns the patent on the FCS nozzle. No other low flow showerhead on the market offers this technology. New 1.8 gpm option: The trend in modern shower stall design is to place the shower heads 6.5 to 7 feet from the floor. All shower head sprays lose strength as the water moves through the air, and this could be an issue for some people when the shower heads are at this height. To help compensate for this loss of energy we are introducing a new 1.8 gpm option. Although still considered to be a water conservation shower head (uses 25% less water than a standard 2.5 gpm shower head) the higher flow rate does produce larger droplets than the 1.5 gpm version and a stronger feeling spray ideal for the newer shower designs. We like to say this is how showers use to feel before the low flow 2.5 gpm was mandated in 1993 by the federal government. Certifications: A112.18.1 and WaterSense.
