Showerhead Reviews - Find the Best Showerhead

Comments about Niagara Conservation Niagara 1.5 gpm Earth Showerhead N2915CH Chrome:

This shower head does the job better than more expensive units. The head is easy to adjust from one setting to another, something that cannot be said for all adjustable shower heads. We've already seen substantial drops in our water consumption and, by extension, saving the gas burned to heat our hot water tank. It's an excellent purchase.

The one thing I would recommend the manufacturer to do is to redesign the shower head with a wider spray. As currently manufactured, the head produces a fairly narrow spray. You would have to be a very short person to have this shower head hit both shoulders.

Creating a wider spray doesn't seem to be a big engineering challenge.
1. Cut out a third of the outside ring spray outlets.
2. Angle the jets on the outside ring ~20 degrees wider
3. Create a 2nd, inner ring of water jets, using the outlets removed from the outer ring. Angle these jets ~5 degrees more narrow than the current shower head.
4. This would be the perfect shower head: low water usage and a spray pattern that hits your whole body.

Alternatively, the company might design the head in such a way that the width of the water spray could be widened or narrowed as desired by the consumer. However, this might add to much to the cost and take the product out of its current price point. (the product is at an ideal price point - good quality but not so expensive you might not purchase it because it might not work as advertised... For ~$15 it's hard to go wrong!)
