    I just switched from a 2.5 gpm shower head to a 1.5 gpm with the Niagara N2915CH (about $8). This shower head is so good, I honestly prefer it above the one with higher flow. This is a 40% reduction of flow and a 7 kW reduction of heating output; equivalent to 175 incandescent light bulbs.

      We made a switch to low-flow in our home previously.  its still plenty of water and the savings make up for the cost right away.
