Water Smart Showerhead

I was recently in New York City for a party sponsored by Kohler and actually got to meet family members who actually had the last name Kohler!    I thought that was pretty cool, because you rarely meet people with bear the last name of the namesake company.    It would be like meeting someone named Fred Starbucks, if the company was started by someone with the last name Starbucks.  And you say, "oh, i Love Starbucks!"     So, here I am meeting a Kohler family heir and professing my love for (of all things) bathroom sinks.

In the gift bag was something I actually needed: a super water efficient massaging showerhead.   My showerhead that I've had in my bathroom was terrible; sure, it was water efficient and looked nice, but the water pressure felt like the shower was just spitting on you.      Before that, I had one of those inexpensive aerating showerheads that pumped lots of air into the water; it felt like millions of tiny aquatic nails were attacking you in the shower.     It had to go.

This WaterSense approved one from Kohler is amazing.   It uses just 1.5 gallons per minute, has numerous settings (although, I prefer just one setting), and it took just 20 seconds to install.   I wish I had grabbed extra gift bags at this event, so that I could give away extras as prizes on this blog.    But if you're in the market for one, look for Kohler WaterSense approved showerheads.   I definitely approve.

Danny, if you're ever passing through Wisconsin, make sure to check out Kohler! Their showroom is amazing!!! (Plus the resort and golf course are World Class!!)

Thanks for the info on the showerhead. I've been looking for a water savings model that doesn't feel like you're getting gypped out of a good shower!!

Any idea where these can be purchased? If I ask for a Kohler WaterSense showerhead at Lowes of Home Depot, will they know what I am talking about? Thanks!!

When I looked on the Kohler site for this model, there were several resembling it, but I didn't find any of the showerheads that had the same inside ring - all the ones I saw showed "holes" rather than protruberances. What model was this one?

I spent some time yesterday trying to track down this showerhead online too. It would be perfect for my wedding registry! From what I found, there are two 1.75 gpm showerhead models: the Forte, K-10240, and the Purist, K-997. I don't think they have been released officially yet; they aren't easy to find on Kohler's site, and they don't have prices listed.

Why don't you contact Kohler & see if they are willing to part with a few to get the word out?
