Did your water bill go up when you installed this shower head? Thanks!

WAter bill has not gone up for us and the shower gets used at least twice a day.

No, nothing that I noticed. This is actually a great shower head, I'm very happy with it

We haven't noticed an increase in our water bill due to the fact that it is our guest bathroom so hasn't been used a lot but the week our daughters and families were here they mentioned they ran out of hot water only after two showers, and we have a 40 gallon water heater, so my husband is thinking we need to get a shower head that doesn't use so much water.

Hi Merry Christmas! Good question I actually checked and the answers is no. My bill is only a bit higher because I have more people here over the holidays and maybe because I'm taking longer showers cause of the awesome full feel of the water from the shower head. LOL

I really don't know, but my water bill is not high at all. This really does help keeping things cool.

Yes, I have two and changed the original to the Moen 9 inch rain shower head

Yes, we did that originally, and it worked well. When we ordered a filter replacement, the shower head and filter was less money than just the filter, so we ordered that. It works well, too.

With the flow restrictor in, pretty average. With it out, quite very high. Without the restrictor, its the best feeling shower head I've ever used (I've tried some $150+ shower heads) but it most certainly is NOT "water conscious"

No I have not. Make sure your main water valve is open wide enough. You had to close it completely during the install.

i think most people who buy this also change the shower head at the same time, so you won't find many accurate accounts. However, the hole size is smaller than the hole on the pipe coming from my wall, so physically i don't think its possible for it to "not" be causing lower water flow. Our pipes made some weird noises too like maybe it was straining them somehow

It does not come with the shower head. I used my old one. Easy to install. Mine drips a bit after many uses, but I attribute that to the fact that I tightened it without asking my menfolk for their help.

I don't believe so. It's hard to remember. We've had ours on for several years now. My husband says not at all. If it does, it's not enough to bother us. We have it on 2 shower heads, one is a standard 2.5 gpm and the other is a 2.0 gpm.

No, the water saving technique of this shower head is that it automatically switches back to the lowest flow (1.5gpm); if you're the sort of person that turns the shower on 5 minutes before you get in, you're running the unused water at a lower flow rate. The other two options that you can chose once you get in the shower have the higher flow rate of 2.0 gpm.it is very easy to change to the higher flows once you get in the shower, I've had this shower head for 3+ years and it's never bothered me.

I have this shower head and agree 100% with Melissa Maust's answer. I installed this shower head in April, 2013 and have not had a problem with it. It's wonderful and I love it.

I bought this showerhead a couple years ago & was SO pleased with the force of water output that I bought a 2nd one for the other bathroom within a month or two. And they're still as great as the day they were installed. You can't go wrong with THIS showerhead....Hope this helps.

it is already set (by water pressure) to go to the low water usage. When you turn the water off you can here it click over to the lower water use. When you turn the water on, you have to move the lever to increase the water flow. When I showered with it I never increased the water pressure as it was fine for me with less flow. My wife likes more water so she increased the water usually. I ended up taking this off my shower because my wife wanted one you could hold in your hand. If you want mine (in perfect condition) I could sell it to you, I just removed it a month or so ago and it is like new. I could send pics if you include an e mail.

Yes, I have it on my well system, hooked it up last week, and everything appears normal, no drop in pressure or volume. We have extremely hard water (24 gpg), and we have a water softener on the hot water side of our supply The shower walls appear better already, water appears to bead more, and drinking water has no smell or off tastes. If you're not handy with plumbing, I would recommend that you hire someone to do the install.

I found the pressure to be very low. I ended up removing the sprayer and the shower head and getting a new showerhead that I liked better. It doesn't have the sprayer and hose, though. I do like the ability to adjust the temperature on the volume control.
