Recently I was at a local water district expo for water conservation. As a vendor, I was concerned why the districts had stopped offering rebates for low flow showerheads. Their illogical answer in front of an auditorium full of people dumbfounded me and confused those in attendance. In the mid-1990's, California required all new showerheads to be a maximum 2.5gpm. To get homeowners to switch over to these new showerheads, the water districts offered for free a 2.5 gpm plastic showerhead. The big problem was that the water districts sourced the cheapest, most unreliable showerheads they could find. The performance was so bad that most homeowners either removed the restrictor to get some type of water flow or just threw out the showerhead aftera few days of use.  Instead of realizing that the cheap showerheads were  the problem, the water districts declared the whole 2.5 gpm showerheads as a wasted program and quietly slid it under the rug.So when i offered my product, the 1.5gpm Jet-Stream Showerhead, the water districts, without even asking to look at the showerhead, told me that it can't be any good since even the 2.5gpm showerheads were lousy. That's the reason why, at least in Southern California, water districts will offer rebates for almost every water saving device except the one that uses the most water, showerheads!!!

A few days ago, I broke my hip skiing. While recuperating in the local hospital, I tried the shower in the room. As expected.the water pressure was not great and was told that's the way it's always been and there's no way to fix it. Luckily, I had a Jet-Stream showerhead back in the hotel room that I always bring with me when I travel. I asked and received permission to install the showerhead and viola, a shower that could knock you out of the stall. Nurses were so impressed that they are setting me up with purchasing so all the rooms could be switched over to the Jet-Stream Showerhead.

The Jet-Stream Showerhead's most important feature is our patented water control valve.It allows you to shower with bubbles and as you all know bubbles are hollow, therefore containing less water than a drop.When a bubble hits your body, it "explodes" and that outer surface still is what gets you wet. So, as a result, less water is used, less energy is used to heat that water, and less water goes down the drain lowering your sewer costs.Ultimate conservation comes when users can shorten the length of time of their showers but we know that it is difficult to change people's habits.

In summary, 1.5gpm showerheads work, primarly because of our patented water control valve.Just because water district's dismiss the 2.5 gpm showerhead because of their own cheap failure, doesn't mean that lower flow showerheads are just as bad.That's why Jet-Stream Showerhead offers a 30 day money back guarantee.It's a large hurdle to overcome a water district  publicly blaming lower flow showerheads instead of their own cheap sourcing, but Jet-Stream has proved itself over and over again by providing a superior product at the right price. Just check the feedback.
