Your shower head is just one
plumbing fixture and one aspect of your bathroom, but it’s not one you should
forget about. If your shower head won’t stop dripping, it will waste
your water and drive up your energy bills, which will then increase your
carbon footprint rather than decrease it. Upgrading your shower head can
fix these problems as well as any issues you might have with water pressure.
Continue reading for some signs that it’s time for an upgrade.
Dripping Faucet
A leaky faucet is often a motif in horror stories, but the scary thing
is that people don’t realize what even the smallest leak means for
their plumbing system. Whether it’s your kitchen faucet or your
shower head, the continuous drip will sabotage your efficiency and waste
water until the problem is fixed. If your shower head leaks even the smallest
amount, you might want to talk to your plumber to see if you should have
it replaced.
High Energy Bills
You’re still paying for the water that comes out of your plumbing
appliances, whether the water should be coming out or not. If you want
to stop wasting water and lower your energy bills, then it’s probably
time to upgrade your shower head. In addition to fixing the leak, a low-flow
shower head upgrade will spray out much less water than older shower heads.
You’ll still be able to take a comfortable shower, and your environmental
responsibility may make you more comfortable as well.
Fluctuating Water Pressure
Speaking of comfortable showers, it’s tough to take one when you
can’t get the right water pressure out of your shower head. Some
older units seem to decide what kind of water pressure you get on their
own, but modern units are more versatile and can be adapted to your liking.
