The other showerheads are single-setting: The 656 provides 1.85 gpm; the 655 provides 1.6 gpm; and the 653 operates at 1.75 gpm. There are no moving internal parts creating the droplets, which are larger than those coming from standard-issue showerheads. The line comes in chrome and satin nickel finishes. Its clean design is "stylish yet efficient," according to a judge. Cost: $80 and up. 800-421-0001.

MVP Award Winner: Water-Efficient Showerhead
- BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (6/11/2007)

The Water-Efficient Showerhead solves this dilemma by delivering 1.6 gallons of water per minute at 60 pounds per square inch. "Thirty-six percent less water than conventional 2.5-gpm showerheads is a huge accomplishment," one judge said, adding that the showerhead "is designed well and is aesthetically pleasing." Without using any moving parts, the showerhead provides a dense spray pattern, says the firm. Cost: $55. 800-345-3358.
