I love a nice long hot shower, who doesn’t right? But taking those long showers are not great for our finances or the environment. We do just about everything we can to be more eco-friendly. It was a challenge in the beginning, but comes natural now. One thing we did not change was our shower heads. I’ve been meaning to, but just never did.
Check out the Waterpik EcoFlow shower head we got to try out!
These Waterpik EcoFlow shower heads are made to save water and money without sacrificing your shower! The flow of water through the water channels and nozzles is optimized by the OptiFlow technology. Which basically means you save a gallon of water per minute, but still get a great shower!
WaterPik is partnering with Wyland Foundation’s national “Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation” in celebration of Earth Month, encouraging people to take the pledge to save water throughout April.
The Mayor’s Challenge is a friendly competition between residents of cities across the U.S., in which mayors will be asking their residents to make a free, online pledge to conserve water, save money and reduce pollution. Residents in the cities with the most participants will qualify to win hundreds of prizes, including Waterpik® EcoFlow® shower heads.
Will you take the pledge to save water? One thing you can do that’s super easy is turn the water off while brushing your teeth. Encourage your kids to the same!
So we’ve had the shower head up for about a week and while I love that I’m saving money and doing good by the environment, I kinda feel like I’m in a cheap hotel with not enough water pressure. Which is what it’s supposed to be, but….Sometimes I want a stronger shower, you know?
I love that I can take off the head and use it to get the shampoo out of my daughter’s hair. It’s much easier to do. So I will keep the Waterpik EcoFlow shower head, but I will place it in the kids bathroom. They take longer showers anyway and the savings will be more there!

I received the above product for review purposed from Mom Select. Opinions are my own.
I wash only full loads of laundry. And we have the low flow toilets in our house. (Nikki Marie on rafflecopter)
I turn the water off, take shorter showers, compost, water early
Several things–only run full loads of laundry or dishes, turn off the faucet when brushing teeth or cleaning the kitchen. I also collect rainwater to use on the plants even on my little apartment porch.
Wash only full loads of laundry.
I make sure that I only run my dishwasher and washing machine with completely full loads.
Wash/dry clothes only w/ a full load, turn off the water when shaving, washing our faces, brushing our teeth, and we actually time our showers and make it into a contest who can take the shortest shower but no skimping on washing body parts/hair! We put a waterproof clock in the bathroom. I constantly lose this one because Mommy has to use conditioner but Daddy and kids don’t! We also place a bucket in the shower to collect awter while waiting for the right temperature which we use to water our garden.
we have a timer for the showers- 5 mins

The big thing I do to save water is to shut if off while brushing my teeth! I then turn the water back on once I’m ready to rinse.
In the Summer I like to save rainwater to water my flowers.

we have a special showerhead in our master bath that shuts off when the water gets to the desired temp in case you don’t jump in the shower right away. (this showerhead would be for my daughter’s bathroom)
We only run full loads of laundry and dirty dishes. We dont leave the water run when we brush our teeth and I reuse my kids swimming pool water in the summer to water my garden.
wash full loads, don’t let the faucets run and collect rainwater to water my flowers
we do not let the water run while brushing our teeth
We take showers, turn off the water while brushing teeth, use a rain barrel to collect water for gardens.
I turn the shower off while I’m lathering up and washing, then I turn the water back on to rinse!
