Quality eco shower heads pay for themselves many times over

Posted on January 20, 2014

The best eco shower heads promise much longer life, reduce water and heat consumption by 50% or more, and are great for the planet.

Quality eco shower heads pay for themselves many times over – just think how quickly a cheap shower head clogs up and needs to be replaced.

The choice is to go on buying lower quality shower heads – and for a busy household that could mean every 2-3 years – or invest in a well-engineered shower head that goes on delivering a great shower-time day in, day out for many years.

A quality eco shower head ensures that you can halve your water consumption, which means much lower heating bills – and if you are metered, lower water bills.

Equally good, your daily contribution to climate protection begins under the shower because reduced water heating means greatly reduced carbon emissions – and less shower-head replacement waste destined for landfill. Great for the planet!

Our hansgrohe EcoSmart Shower Heads

We work in partnership with hansgrohe, an innovative global brand to offer a range of the very best eco shower heads including handheld, fixed and rain head that suit all styles and budgets.

To use water more effectively, an easy-to-install eco shower head uses sophisticated flow limitation, special spray jets and the mixing of inflowing water with air to reduce water consumption .

This results in about 3 litres of air being used for every litre of water so going green does not mean you have to compromise on quality or performance. A hansgrohe shower head has a clear advantage over shower head rivals and gives you a complete, full-flow ,spa-like shower by using the latest water and energy saving technology.

The water droplets produced are much lighter and softer so they burst considerably easier on the skin, soaking you much more efficiently without splashing everywhere. Normal droplets just bounce off you so you have to use more water to get you wet.

Check your shower head flow rate

How fast your water is flowing (flow rate) is an important consideration in buying an eco shower head. Standard shower heads deliver up to 30 litres of water per minute so it’s worth knowing how your shower performs when investing in a new eco shower head.

We’ve got the solution – our free SaveMoneyCutCarbon Flow Bag. Just call us on 0333 123 5464 and we’ll send you a reusable bag. With this, you can easily measure the flow rate – and find out how much you will save a year when you test again with a new eco shower head. Watch this video to see how it works:
