Water-Amplifying Fluidics Low-Flow Shower Heads

Maybe you have purchased a low-flow shower head or hand shower in the past and you were disappointed with the resulting flow of the shower head. Becareful with these low-flow shower heads. Some of these actual water-savers have such low water flows that they have weak water streams (it will feel like you have little or no water pressure).

It is noticeable at 1.5 gpm (gallons per minute) or lower when shower heads and hand showers start to have some problems. Sure that 1.25 gpm shower head may save a lot of water, but how comfortable is the spray?

Are you spending more time in the shower to rinse off because of your low-flow shower head?

Females with long hair especially understand this problem while trying to rinse shampoo out of their hair and having to spend eternity under the shower head. Shower heads need to be more than just low-flow; they have to be efficient!

I want to introduce to you a different kind of shower head. It is more than just low-flow; it is water-amplifying!

Alsons Corporation (a manufacturer of shower heads, handheld showers and accessories) has produced a new shower head technology. Fluidics Water-Amplifying Shower Heads are water-saving and efficient shower heads.

Currently the Fluidics technology is available only in shower head models. Alsons is currently working on incorporating this "green" technology into hand showers, but is a few months away from being introduced (perhaps a release date of 2009).

There are a few shower head models in the Fluidics product line, but I will concentrate on just two (a 1.75 gpm and a 1.6 gpm model).

Here's the breakdown on this Fluidics technology:

A) The spray technology controls the water's shape and velocity which allows the shower head spray to be low-flow (less than 2.5 gpm), yet it feels like a full standard spray shower head

B) Using thermal technology, the Fludics spray produces a larger spray droplet which stays warmer longer

I have personally used the 1.75 gpm and 1.6 gpm Fluidics water-ampliying shower heads. Here is my recommendation.

A picture of the 1.75 gpm Fluidics model (available in chrome only) is to the right. It has one spray hole forcing 1.75 gpm through this chamber. I have high water pressure at home and combined with the one spray hole, the 1.75 gpm Fluidics shower head doesn't feel quite as nice as the 1.6 gpm model. The water stings a little. If you have low water pressure at home, this could be the shower head you need.

I recommend the 1.6 gpm Fluidics shower head (comes in chrome and satin nickel finishes and can be seen in the pictures above). The 1.6 gpm water-amplifying Fluidics shower head has four spray holes and is a little bigger than the 1.75 gpm model.

The 1.6 gpm Fluidics shower head will cost a bit more, but has a more comfortable spray. The biggest reason for this is the four spray holes does not force all 1.6 gpm of water through one spray chamber like the 1.75 gpm Fluidics model. The 1.6 gpm Fluidics water-amplifying shower head certainly feels better on the skin.

I have heard positive reviews from those with long hair about how quickly they can get shampoo out of their hair with these Fluidics water-amplifying shower heads.

There are a couple of other Fluidics models (a 1.85 gpm and a combo 1.85 - 2.5 gpm) available as well, but I think these just waste more water than is neccessary in my opinion (the 1.6 gpm Fluidics shower head feels like a normal shower head while using less water).

Since these Fluidics shower heads are low-flow (less than 2.5 gpm), it reduces your water and energy costs (less demand on your water heater). Energy costs are reduced because you heat less water for the same 10-minute shower you take. If you run out of hot water quickly with your current water heater, these Fluidcs shower heads will extend your hot water life.

The 1.75 Fluidics shower head saves 30% water over a traditional 2.5 gpm shower head.

The 1.6 Fluidics shower head saves 36%.

Plus, by requiring less water from your hot water heater, your utility bills will decrease because you will require less electricity and gas to heat your water.

The Fluidics water-amplifying shower head is water-efficient, not just water-saving. If you are tired of weak stream low-flow shower heads, you may want to try the Fluidics Water-Amplifying Low-Flow Shower Heads.
