The concept behind the power shower head is a simple, but incredibly effective one. Since a power shower head uses a high-pressure, high-flow water pump to shoot out a jet spray of water, it naturally consumes more water than a regular shower head.
Some of the models that I’ve featured use as little as 5.5 gallons of water per minute and up to 8.8 gallons per minute.
This means that if you have a typical low-flow water system that uses as little as 2.0 gallons per minute, you’ll be able to take a much longer shower without worrying about disrupting your water pressure or having things get too hot for too long.
On the other hand, if you have a pump that output closer to the average 8.5 or 9.0 gallons a minute, then you may find that you are actually using less water with the dual shower head compared to your standard shower head.
There’s another feature that I’m a fan of, and that’s the fact that most power shower heads have useful water pressure control. This gives you the ability to adjust the water flow to your liking and to use less water if you’re not sure how much water your shower head uses.
Of all the features, I think my favorite is a massage setting.

The Hotel Spa 1831 is a set of dual shower head that includes a handheld shower attachment as well, which is a huge bonus at such an affordable price. It should be noted that this is not a set of handheld heads and a fixed head, but rather two shower heads that you can put in any position so you can get the water to go where you want it to.
Installation is remarkably easy, and setup for use is even easier. There’s no water restrictor, as with some more expensive multi-head showers, making for one less thing to worry about when it comes to functionality.
The “rainfall” setting for this shower head is simply designed as a shower head, but the other settings all vary from pulsing jets to full-fledged drenching flows. You can easily switch between settings with the simple twist of a dial, and you can switch from the handheld to the fixed shower head, too.
