Shower head, anyone heard of/tried these?

It makes coffee taste better too, according to the website.

 

(I made that up, just like everything else claimed on there!)

Can't see how it can work, not without crystals in it to balance the yang and yang

I think it will work better if you take all those lentils out of the handle.

Err but Mike, I don't drink coffee in the shower, it gets diluted.

Oh my, it will make my hair and skin better whilst cutting down visits to the water point??? Must buy a dozen immediately.

It is quite easy to increase pressure and use less water.

 

Block up most of the holes in the shower head

(Or make smaller holes)

[Machpoint005]

Er, the pressure behind the water flow is exactly the same, but the velocity through the remaining holes is increased.

[Dave Payne]

Wonder if it was invented by the same people as the stove fan

[Jrtm]

These not the same as a bucket with holes and straw in??

[zenataomm]

Connect up three in series and you should not only use no water at all but mathematically you could end up with 5% more water than you started with ...... terrific!

Yes i realise the pressure behind the water flow is the same

 

I think they are relying on people assuming that the "pressure" is what you feel against your skin when you spray water at it. As you say it is the water velocity .

We know that it is not actually the "water pressure" but it may be that is what they are referring to.

 

Marketing speak perhaps ?

 

(And also a translation from a far east language by the look of it)

[Machpoint005]

Marketing speak is often nonsense -- think of "up to 100% improvement" -- a 1% improvement is within the range. So is 0.0001% for that matter.

what a question to ask boaters

[MissMax]

Feel sorry for all the little pixies inside who have to spit the water out through all the little holes.

I blame Brexit

 

Hope it's spitting out and not tinkling out!

Does pixie wee taste any worse than pixie spittle?

Quite

 

Like asking "is anyone doing the Wash this year"

My favourite marketing speke rant is about is wnen they when things like "ten times smaller" or "ten times less", when they actually mean 10% or one tenth.

 

E.g. "Our new energy efficient lamps use ten times less power than ordinary lamps"... grrrrr

Very true. We have a water saving shower head on the boat, basically it has smaller holes so you get less water but at higher velocity coming out. That said we got it for free, not sure I would have bought one.

I hate that. I actually wrote to the BBC about one of their documentaries referring to "Ben scoring eight times less than Rachel". In the same documentary they referred to the "guide ropes" tensioning a tent...

 

I expect that rubbish on Channel 5 but not the Beeb.

Fitted one of these last week, gonna be honest...... i love it.

uses less water, which is obviously because it has smaller, less holes than my other shower head, but it actually cleans and feels better than my old shower head, the pressure is better, again because of the holes, no idea if it filters anything nasty out, but for the cost i can highly recommend it.

Now shoot me down.

There's no target!
