Is your area under a hosepipe ban this summer?
How long is your average shower?
How many showers get taken in your household each day?
How's the pressure?
Have you ever unscrewed your shower head and looked inside?
Can you smell the water when the shower's running hot?
How does your skin and hair feel after a shower?
And your hair?
You're paying for more water than you need, and getting less shower than you want.
England has had its driest July on record, half the country is officially in drought and ten water companies have brought in hosepipe bans. Meanwhile showering is the single biggest use of water in a typical home and most people are told the answer is simply to shower less.
That's a miserable answer, and it isn't the only one. A shower head that moves less water but moves it faster feels stronger, not weaker. You don't shorten the shower. You change what comes out of it.
Proper Flow Shower Head does that, and filters chlorine and sediment on the way through so you're using less water and what does reach you is cleaner than what's in the pipe.
There's something in your shower head. That's why it's weak.
Grit in the nozzles, cloudy water after street works, jets firing off sideways that's sediment. Rust, sand and pipe debris picked up on the way to you, because Britain still runs a great deal of Victorian pipework and it sheds.
Sediment blocks nozzles. Blocked nozzles kill pressure. Weak pressure means you stand there longer, using more water in the driest July on record, with hosepipe bans across half of England.
Proper Flow Shower Head filters sediment and chlorine before the water hits the nozzles, so the spray stays even and the pressure stays honest on less water than you're using now.
It isn't your shampoo. It's the disinfectant in your water.
That pool smell is residual chlorine, left in the mains on purpose so the water stays safe all the way to your house. It's doing an important job right up until the moment it reaches your skin.
Chlorine is designed to break down organic matter. Your hair and skin are organic matter. Do that 300 times a year and the natural oils never get a chance to recover which is the tightness after a shower, the frizz, the flaky scalp.
You can't change what your water company adds. You can change the last few centimetres. Proper Flow Shower Head filters chlorine and sediment before the water touches you, with narrower, faster jets that feel stronger while using less water which matters more than usual in a drought summer.
You're using more water than you need, on a shower that barely works.
Your pressure is weak, so you stand under it longer. That's the trap: a bad shower costs you more water, not less and you're doing it in the driest July England has ever recorded, with half the country in drought.
The usual fix is to open the flow up and push more water through. More litres, same mediocre shower. There's a better way to do it: narrower, faster jets move less water but hit harder, so it feels stronger and you're out sooner.
Proper Flow Shower Head is built exactly that way and it filters chlorine and sediment on the way through, so the water reaching you is cleaner than what's in the pipe.
