High efficiency Californiaquistan shower heads

Again, I think I would be very happy with a 2.5 gal shower head and there's no doubt that it would help me save a lot of water.

The problem.here is that CA went much beyond that, my shower head had a ridiculous flow, I mean, it wasn't enough to have water coming out from all holes.

I didnt even waste my time trying to look for a 2.5 gal shower head because they cannot be shipped to CA because they don't meet the state standards.

As a result, flow restrictor is long gone and for over 1 year I shower with a shower head that looks like a fire hose.

But don't worry, even taking several showers per day, my showers are usually very quick and most of the times I use that pulse massage setting that has only 9 tiny holes (but a wonderful pressure, exactly to save water.

I got the Commando 450 ... just like Kramer on Seinfeld.

I picked up a vintage Speakman showerhead, probably from the 50s. The first shower I took after I installed it was like the heavens opened and the universe sang! After decades of restricted flow...this thing is UNBELIEVABLE! I have zero guilt...I take short showers every other day, quit watering my lawn 3 years ago, and I'm otherwise conscious of any water I use in the house. I've attached photos - it weighs several pounds and has an adjustable stream. (I know it needs cleaning - going to do a vinegar soak soon.) Showers are really a pleasure again!

I have a similar Speakman showerhead.The so called water saver heads used to have a plastic insert you could take out.Then they went to where you could not take the restrictor out.---Solution used the workplace drill press to drill it out-now a shower worth taking!

“We are running out of fresh water”

Huh, doesn’t seem to be a shortage of water after getting nearly 30 trillion gallons of water dumped onto California, there’s even more rain on the way towards the end of the week. Definitely know when the ground is soaked from rain since the septic system is getting full and not because it hasn’t been pumped out or because the leach lines are clogged, it’s because the ground can only absorb so much water before it can’t anymore. Had this happen in January of 2017 since it rained quite a bit around that time as well.
