Save the hot water that you leave running before you get in the shower with the Evolve ShowerStart Roadrunner Low Flow Showerhead. This clever showerhead holds the hot water in until it's ready to use. That means the Roadrunner will save you up to 8 gallons of water for every 5-minute showers you take!


How It Works

The Evolve Roadrunner Showerhead is a non-aerating, low flow showerhead. The ShowerStart™ technology behind the Roadrunner monitors the water temperature and “triggers a trickle as soon as the water reaches 95 F (35 C). When you hear the “hot water is ready trickle, simply flip the switch on the showerhead to start your warm, luxurious shower. When you're done, the showerhead automatically resets itself for the next shower. So, there's no more guessing or guilt about running hot water down the drain – only the newfound freedom of knowing you're actually saving hot water, while your shower is warming!
  • Non-aerating means air is not mixed into the water stream, as it passes through the showerhead; as a result, less temperature is lost between the showerhead and you.
  • ShowerStart™ technology behind the 1.59 gpm low flow showerhead will save you up to $230 and 7,665 gallons** of water and energy per year!
  • Pressure Compensating Technology means you will have consistent, even pressure regardless of water pressure.
  • 36-nozzle, full face spray means you will enjoy the comfort and warmth of the better coverage.

Showerhead GPM - What Is It and Why You Should Pay Attention to It
1.5 gpm Showerhead Savings
To consider the water savings or return on investment from a 1.5 gpm showerhead , consider this: an older showerhead is typically 3-5 gallons per minute and though that may not seem like much, these numbers represent the amount of gallons of water used per minute and not per shower. Running this showerhead at full flow will result in the use of 30-50 gallons of water within 10 minutes. The Niagara 1.5 gpm would only use 15 gallons in 10 minutes. The water savings amount up to 35 gallons of water per person. Assuming 10 minutes showers for a family of 4 (and teenagers typically use a lot more)….this would represent a savings of 140 gallons in 1 day. Or 51,000 gallons each year!
