It makes good economic sense to invest in a water-efficiel:lt showerhead. <br /> <br />.Assuming 3.0 people/household and Colorado retail rates of SO.075/kW-h for electricity and <br />SO.53/therm for gas. Savings are calculated for a shift from 4.0 and 6.0 gpm (peak flow) <br />showerheads to 2.0 gpm (peak flow) heads. <br /> <br />Savings reflect an additional 20 degree F heating requirement for water from low-flow showerheads. A <br />fine. rapidly cooled spray from some low-flow heads may necessitate this additional heating. <br />1lr U.m.8P Cop1ri.ht (C) lP8P Rocq 1l0W1taln In.Utut. <br />
