What is a good low flow shower head?

I live in an area with mandatory water rationing and need to cut down on water use. I am looking for a good low flow shower head that doesn't feel like a low flow shower head. I have seen two that put out 1/2 gallon per minute but it seems that can't be great (one was called Aqua Helix). What is a really good low flow shower head that uses considerably less than the standard 2.5 Gallons per minute. Also, has anyone used the Aqua Helix?

    Go to a RV camper store they have pressure regulators that RV users have to have on their camper pluming

    .. . ..

    It cuts the city water pressure down to about 20 psi

    .. . ..

    You can get them for all the appliances in your camper and home I would hope

    .. . . .

    We have an kitchen faucet attachment for our home the local utilities company sent us in the mail to try and conserve water usage

    .. . ..

    The shower head attachment I bet has just the same type of pressure regulator to cut down the pressure

    cuts down the usage

    For person-friendly human beings Federal regulations require low flow gadgets, low flow commodes, low flow showers. Commodes would desire to now be flushed numerous situations because of the fact the low volume of water allowed via Fed Regs won't flush on first blusch. Elite politicians and priviledge wealthy all of us is authorized to easily get clean in one bathe with limitless water flow, intense water tension bathe heads, intense tension flush commodes. Take some time, elite few. Soak on your dermis's choose. The whales can whale away. a ways away.

    well my answer would be so much different. shower heads will require you additional installation of pipes plus the shower head itself. BUT, if you're going to use just the faucet and a pail to be used for your bath i think it wil save more water, more than any other shower head i could think of. so next time why don't you use a pail for bath.(asian style)

    I found one that only produces 1.25 gallons per minute and still provides good water pressure. check it out at http://www.relenergy.com/resources/water-saving-de...

    good luck

    try the ones which don't use too little pressure, and not too much water.
