High Sierra 1.5 gpm Showerhead Review

The High Sierra 1.5 gpm low flow showerhead is a real surprise!  It's a unique design that really delivers a strong force of water.  

A thorough review of the High Sierra showerhead can be found at TriRig.

This showerhead doesn't really fit into the other categories based on physical operation design characteristics.   It uses a hose type nozzle in which a rounded bar is placed in front of the stream to break it up and give the nice showering experience from the flow.  

Without a doubt this is the strongest force water blast from a 1.5 gpm showerhead, even amongst all showerheads Ive tested here in a low water pressure situation.   The forceful spray is not stingy.   The force of this showerhead and stream characteristics makes this shower head a bit more splashy off the body than others.  The spray is fairly tight, but works well.  The spray pattern is oval symetrical with no donut hole in the center like some other shower heads. Warmth is good for such a low flow unit.  Rinsing ability is great.

The force combined with the low flow makes this a great showerhead for saving money or for taking longer relaxing showers.   Combine this with a trickle/shut off valve for even more water savings. 

Build quality is top notch, all chrome plated brass with a polycarbonate water guide cap.  The design also looks promising with regards to hard water deposit, aka lime scale, build up.   The design also prevents water dripping after shutdown.

This is a top contender.  Highly recommended.  Price is $34.95 plus shipping and can be found at the manufacturer's website and Amazon.
