We have just bought a venturi shower head for Yarwood.
The blurb says that...
"A conventional shower has a flow rate of 25 to 30 litres per minute so a five minute shower uses around 125 litres of water. The Venturi shower use only 6 or 8 litres per minute, so you save over 90 litres having a 5 minute shower, cutting water and energy consumption up to 70%."
The flow of water to the shower head is restricted but a 'vent' in the base of the shower head handle sucks in air which aerates the flow of water and increases the pressure again - result you feel satisfied with the flow and shower experience but have used less water.
Now that has got to worth a try ..

Hello Karen!!
Welcome aboard. Of course you can keep stalking! I will move over completely to the Yarwood blog when we move off of Caxton, in about two weeks time we believe.
Keep watching and commenting and see you in the Summer perhaps

I too would like a report on the venturi shower head...

Hi Bob
We will report back on the venturi showerhead after using it for a while aboard Yarwood.
Lesley
We'll look forward to reading what you think of the shower head. Water saving showers are common here so it will be interesting to see how one works on a narrowboat!

Hi Mick and Elly
I am hoping that it will be successful because if it is there will be a lot of Narrowboaters fitting one!
