Our top 5 eco shower heads
Happy Water Savings Week! A week organised by Waterwise, dedicated to raising awareness about climate change and how water will impact our future. This year it’s an especially important initiative, considering the connection between water usage and rising energy bills.
What do both Waterwise and SaveMoneyCutCarbon have in common? We both believe in helping people realise how important is, and how easy it is to make small changes that add up to make a big difference.
One way to use water more efficiently is to switch to an eco-friendly shower head. hansgrohe is one of our favourite water-saving brands – delivering innovative features, premium quality and modern design at an affordable price.
hansgrohe shower heads use unique technology such as AirPower, EcoSmart and QuickClean technology to bring you luxurious shower experiences. Check out our favourites below!
hansgrohe Crometta Vario Green Shower Head
The Crometta Vario Green eco-friendly shower head uses special hansgrohe technology called EcoSmart, helping you use 60% less water while reducing your energy bills. It has a flow rate of just 6 litres per minute. In comparison, traditional shower heads will drain up to 20 litres per minute and even more modern shower heads will drain 12 litres per minute.
EcoSmart technology uses a clever aerator that combines spray jets while mixing water with air before it comes out of the faucet, to reduce the amount of water used. Less water used also requires less energy to heat it, saving you an average of £45 per year. This conserves valuable resources without sacrificing the shower experience – those few minutes of relaxation or karaoke we crave in the shower.
It only takes a few moments to install and with QuickClean technology, the ease never stops. Simply rub your fingers or cloth over the silicone nozzles to remove any limescale, it will come straight off.
Additionally, the two rain settings: rain or intense rain, are perfect for rinsing the shampoo out of your hair or focusing the rainfall. It will save you an average of 0.117 tonnes of carbon dioxide and 13,000 litres of water and only takes a few months to pay back.
If we still haven’t convinced you to make the switch, you can try this shower head for 30 days. If you don’t like it, we’ll refund you the full amount.
