This is the first low flow shower head that I have tried that gives me great flow. The spray is great and my shower is hotter longer.


5 out of 5 stars does not mist good show lower gpm   September 21, 2008

I am not sure what the one post about cold misting shower was all about. This was not my experience. Fludics is based on large drops not aerated mist. I have lower pressure. (62 psi) and the Alsons 1.6 does increase the pressure compared to my Mohen 2.5 gpm head by 10 psi min.

The 4 jets shake to spread out the water giving full coverage. Oddly it uses more water than its single hole 1.6 version which sells for half the price. That one has 10 psi more force but it a bit stingy. This one divides the pressure up between the 4 holes. The large holes will make it less likely to clog up if you have hard water.

Note that the head is ABS chromed plastic. The fitting is chrome plated brass.

Overall you will get a nice shower if you have lower pressure and save water compared to a 2.5 gpm head.
You will have to get used to the different spray pattern since it different than the traditional needle spray.

The Alsons 1.6 GPM shower head is fantastic. You would never know that it is saving you water and energy. It fooled the entire family!

We have a family of 5 that showers each month for 860 minutes.

860 minutes (x) 2.5 gallons per minute = 2,150 gallons of water used per month.
860 minutes (x) 1.6 gallons per minute = 1,376 gallons of water used per month.

We are now saving 774 gallons per month by switching to a 1.6 gallon per
minute showerhead instead of using a 2.5 gallon per minute showerhead.

We now save 9,288 gallons of water per year off of one showerhead.

An incredible savings! This showerhead paid for itself in just a few months.

I LOVE this showerhead! I live in a house with 3 adults who all have to get up and go to work in the morning. With the regular shower head we would run out of hot water very quickly and the 3rd person would have no hot water at all. Now all three of us can take our time in the shower and we all have enough hot water. The pressure is actually better than with our old shower head and our water bills have already decreased. Great deal for the price!
