Eco Showerheads

Will an Eco showerhead really save me money?

Without doubt. The cost of fitting an Eco showerhead can be recovered within 2/3 months or less depending on your existing shower’s flow rate. You can start saving immediately.

Will I still get good powerful showers with an Eco showerhead?

Fitting a Eco showerhead does not mean you will get inferior showers. The Flowpoint range of Eco showerheads are designed to save on your Water and Energy Bills while not compromising on the invigorating and relaxing feel of a powerful shower. 

Will an Eco showerhead work on my existing shower?

All Flowpoint Eco showerheads will work on a Power Shower, Combi Shower or a Gravity Feed system fitted with a Shower Pump. Please note: we do not recommend Eco showerheads for use with an Electric Shower as these are already Low Flow.

Will an Eco showerhead fit my existing shower?

Flowpoint Eco showerheads will fit all existing fixed head pipes and all existing hand held shower hoses by their ½” standard thread connection.

Please note, Savewatersavemoney has not tested this showerhead with all manufacturers products.  Savewatersavemoney does not accept liability should the Showerhead be unsuitable for your shower.

What is the symbol used for aeration function on the Eco showerhead itself? Are all the symbols explained in the packaging?

There aren’t any symbols on the Eco showerheads, but the different settings (where relevant) are very clear to use and the showerheads have notched positions (i.e. the shower heads “clicks” into position for each setting).

Can I reduce the water flow using your Eco showerheads? If so, then by how much can the water flow be reduced?

The fixed and handheld Eco showerheads we stock allow you to reduce the flow to a maximum of 7 to 8 litres at 80psi water supply.

I am interested in the 3 setting handheld Eco showerhead. Is this compatible with a Mira Express Power Shower?

Yes, all of our Eco showerheads would work with a power shower.

I have 5 bathrooms all with showers from a centrally pumped system. Will these Eco showerheads be ok?

The answer is YES. All Flowpoint Eco showerheads will work very well on this system.

I am looking for silicone washes to put into the shower to reduce water wasting. Do you have any of them?

We recommend the Eco showerhead! This cuts down water usage by approx 5 litres per minute and can save around £30 a year off both water and energy (gas to heat the water) use.

I’m interested in the three setting Eco showerhead, only I’m unsure whether these are universal sizes. Also is installation as easy as screwing the old one off and screwing the new one on or do I have to replace the whole lot?

Should be universal size though you need to make sure you order a handheld rather than fixed to wall head. Please keep in mind our returns policy. For a water efficient handheld, it is as easy as unscrewing your old showerhead, and replacing with your new.

Will using an aerated shower head affect the pressure of my shower? If anything, my current is far too weak.

If your pressure is too weak, then a Flowpoint Eco showerhead will make it weaker. No manufacturers' water saving showers will boost flow rate unless they have been attached to a pump in some form.  i.e.  Power Shower or a dedicated separate Shower Pump.

You may want to ‘ Conduct Your Own Test ‘  to see what is discharging at the moment.   Anything under 9 litres per minute is considered efficient but if you get down to 7 litres per minute then it is very weak and not enjoyable.

In ECO mode you need to run your shower into a measured 9 ltr household bucket for 1 minute to see how much water you ‘ capture ‘ in the bucket.

If it exceeds 9 litres in less than 1 minute, then you can use our Shower Heads and it will save you water.  If however it does not reach 9 litres in 1 minute then you do not need one and may consider purchasing a pump.

Again, if you want an enhanced showering sensation,  you cannot do better than fitting a 1.5 bar pump from the DIY stores,  we can recommend some models for just £100.  Then fit a Flowpoint Shower and you have it all.
