Eco Monday: the shower

While no one likes a cold shower, taking shorter cooler showers can save lots of water and energy. Regular shower heads use about 5 gpm (gallons per minute). Installing an aerator shower head adds air to the water making it still feel like a strong stream of water while using less water and reducing overall water usage by half. That's a substantial savings in water, energy and water that needs to be treated.
