As Drought Threatens the Southwest and Southeast, Efficient Showerheads Become a Source of Potential Relief

With droughts affecting large areas of both the Southeast and Southwest United States, homeowners are seeing an increase of restrictions on water use, and are increasingly becoming aware of the need for water conservation. The newly introduced 1.5 gallon per minute showerhead from Clean Air Gardening reduces water usage in the shower anywhere from 1 to 5 gallons every minute. The net savings will be in the tens of thousands of gallons every year for the typical family.

Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) November 2, 2007 -- With droughts affecting large areas of both the Southeast and Southwest United States, homeowners are seeing an increase of restrictions on water use, and are increasingly becoming aware of the need for water conservation.

One of the biggest opportunities for increased water conservation in the average family home is the shower. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, half of all water use inside a house takes place in the bathroom.

Showerheads from before 1980 often use as much as 6 1/2 gallons per minute; Showerheads made between 1980 and 1994 can use as much as 3 1/2 gallons per minute, and most showerheads from 1994 until now use 2 1/2 gallons per minute.

The newly introduced 1.5 gallon per minute showerhead (http://www.cleanairgardening.com/1-5gpm-efficient-showerhead.html) from Clean Air Gardening reduces water usage in the shower anywhere from 1 to 5 gallons every minute. The net savings will be in the tens of thousands of gallons every year for the typical family.

Water savings don't mean a terrible, dribbling shower, however. This new showerhead uses a patented technology based on the Venturi principle. As water goes into the base of the showerhead, it is propelled through an accelerator fin to increase the velocity of the water flow. It's then directed through a channel where oxygen is injected into water. This results in an efficient showerhead that still provides sufficient water flow and addresses a long standing problem of consumer dissatisfaction with water saving shower fixtures.

The new Oxygenics 1.5 GPM showerhead is simple to install with just a wrench. It is constructed with non-stick internal materials, which means that it resists clogging up. It is available from www.cleanairgardening.com,.
