Save the hot water that you leave running before you get in the shower with the Evolve ShowerStart Panda Showerhead. This clever showerhead holds the hot water in until it's ready to use.
How It Works
The Evolve Panda 2.5 gpm, non-aerating showerhead is in the Evolve ShowerStart series water savers. The patented technology basically 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!
- ShowerStart™ technology behind the 2.5 gpm showerhead will save you up to $75 and 2,700 gallons* of water and energy per year!
- 5.5” diameter head provides the perfect balance of coverage and great flow in a more compact form.
- Rain showerhead with offset ball for maximum extension from the shower arm means you can adjust the showerhead at almost any desired angle.
- Anti-clog nozzles with 3 relaxing spray patterns of rain, massage, or rain-massage means you will enjoy the comfort and warmth of the better coverage.
- 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.
