“Green” low-flow showerheads provide a great way to help the environment, but does the shower quality suffer? While low-flow showerheads stay consistently stuck between 1.5 and 2 gallons per minute (GPM), ShowerTek’s Green Choice™ lets consumers adjust water flow via a hand dial, allowing for reduced or full power when they need it. The Green Choice can potentially save $250 in water and energy bills for a family of four through its unique flow control functionality.

Green Choice empowers individuals with the option to adjust shower strength between “Pause,” 1GPM and 2.5GPM (the legal maximum water flow). Consumers can turn water pressure to “low” when lathering up; to power off soap and shampoo, they can adjust the pressure back to full flow.

Add-on flow control valves might function in a similar way; however, as extra plumbing hardware, they are prone to leaky plumbing connections and can prove difficult for fine flow adjustment. As added components, these valves add undesirable length and size to the showerhead.

“The Green Choice showerhead is truly a ‘green as you want to be’ technology,” said ShowerTek president Tom Christianson. “It allows consumers to save money and conserve water – but not at the expense of an effective shower. No costly flow control valve installation is necessary to take an effective shower while doing your part for the environment.”

Installation of the Green Choice showerhead is as easy as changing a light bulb. Simply unscrew the existing showerhead and screw the Green Choice fitting onto the shower pipe. There is nothing to mount – no screws, suction cups or double stick tape. Then lather, rinse and repeat.

To minimize the product’s environmental footprint, the Green Choice showerhead is packaged almost entirely with recycled or recyclable materials. The Green Choice wall mount showerhead is available for US MSRP $24.95, the Green Choice Hand Held shower is available for US MSRP $29.95 online and a special combo model is available through Costco and other US retailers.
