8 Water-Saving Showerheads - Remodelista
True confession: I am a water-pressure junkie. The restriction still holds... ...but the EPA’s voluntary WaterSense specification has gone further, requiring a 2.0 gpm flow for certification, which results in an additional 20 percent water savings.

Speakman is offering WaterSense-certified versions of its classic Anystream models. Delta’s WaterSense-certified showerheads receive praise for high pressure... ...thanks to their “H20kinetic” technology, which controls the movement and droplet size of water. The Delta Faucet H20kinetic Showerhead (RP70172) is $78.16 at eFaucets. The technologically advanced Danze Parma Five-Function Showerhead offers, you guessed it, five spray settings with a 2.0 gpm flow; $41.60 at Amazon. Highly-rated in the 2.0 gpm category, Hansgrohe’s Croma C-100 Green Showerhead has a four-inch spray face and EcoAir Technology designed to increase the intensity of the spray; $47.79 at Home and Stone. There are even high-efficiency rain showerheads. Consider Moen’s Velocity Eight-Inch Multi-function Rainshower Showerhead. To make the biggest dent in water flow with the smallest impact on your wallet, consider Niagara’s 1.5 gpm Massage Chrome Showerhead; $7.22 at Amazon (and, yes, it gets good reviews). While this showerhead is a bit more robust in water consumption and cost than the others, it grabs the best showerhead rating from gadget and gear site The Sweet Home. The Delta In2ition Dual Showerhead features a detachable hand shower that can run separately from or simultaneously with the head.
