showerhead showerstart ShowerStart Launches Line of Eco-Friendly Luxury Showerheads in Western Washington

ShowerStart, LLC just announced the availability of their luxury-featured, environmentally friendly showerheads in the Pacific Northwest. The evolve(TM) showerhead combines European styling, drenching spray patterns, solid brass fittings, anti-clog spray nozzles and maximum flow rates with the company’s innovative ShowerStart(TM) water- and energy-saving technology.

The company says that evolve’s integrated ShowerStart technology is driven by a temperature sensor that enables the showerhead to prevent hot water from running down the drain when no one is in the shower—an event most commonly associated with waiting for the shower to get warm.

showerstart evolve showerhead “Instead of saving water by reducing the shower’s flow rate, evolve’s ShowerStart technology saves the hot water that’s wasted before you actually get in,” said Troy Sherman of ShowerStart LLC. “You’ll save time, water, energy and money without compromising your comfort - the typical trade off of low-flow showerheads. The evolve showerheads offer a simple, convenient and easy way to be green—no sacrifices, no behavior changes.”

According to the company, every time the shower is turned on, the evolve showerhead monitors the water’s temperature. Once it is ready for bathing (95o F), evolve’s ShowerStart technology automatically slows the water flow to a slight trickle. After finishing the activity they were doing while waiting for the shower to get warm, users simply return to the shower and flip a switch to resume the normal water flow.

Priced from $39.95 to $119.95, evolve showerheads are available at The Home Depot and Sharper Image in Western Washington. GetWithGreen.com also found one model online at the Sharper Image.
