Does anybody else find that it takes 4 times as long to shower with these things ?  Jeeeebus.  They were in every hotel we stayed in.  You have to run around to get wet and it takes forever to rinse the shampoo....and then conditioner out.  Are they really saving water ????

low flow? Hmm is when there's barely any water pressure?

Me too Michel.  I'm sure they have to be using more water.  I should have put the plug in the drain to see how much it filled the tub.  Mind you, we have a shower stall, so I guess it wouldn't have proved much.

I think you were probably also experiencing the "hard" water, P.C.  It's more difficult to rinse suds off.

I know what you mean, PC.  My old apt was low flow...took forever to rinse hair, etc.  And on the other hand, my parent's place is a high flow with blasting water that is so powerful that it hurts your skin!   My showers in there are fast, almost military like.

That's true Lil Me.  But I find it wimpy even without the rinse issue.  It's more like a steady drool.  Not invigorating at all.

I agree low flow showers are crap.. they frustrate me into staying in the shower longer which Im sure uses more water.. but to be honest once you get used to them, you are supposed to use less water.

Sounds like the lower water usage crappers, you have to flush twice to get a good one down.

I do agree about teh Hard Water mention.. I hate hard water.

Russ, you're a man's man. You'd stand in the rain and call it a shower.
