The Whedon Economy Plus is sold as the Fire Hydrant Spa at an outrageous markup. This is a good showerhead in general and especially for those with low water pressure. Very similar in characteristics and performance to the Niagara Conservation Earth Massage series. You can see 2 of it's main settings in action here.
The Whedon Economy Plus has a nice bonus setting that the Niagara Earth Massage does not, which is a trickle (near shut off) setting, which is useful for Navy Showers or lathering up, shaving, and whatnot, to conserve water. I wasnt expecting this so it was a nice surprise.
The regular spray setting is very similar to the Niagara Earth Massage, with good streams in a cone within a cone (an inner and outer ring) configuration for good body coverage. The spray pattern is wide as well. The spray streams are soft and not especially splashy off the body. Rinsing ability is good. Warmth is fair. Same as with the Niagara Earth Massages. The spray streams are thinner than the NRG streams, but not as thin as the Whedon Adjust-A-Spray (adjusted for maximum velocity).
Ill briefly touch on the massage setting. I prefer the Whedon Economy Plus massage setting over the Niagara Earth Massage, however I probably wont be using this function much if at all. I like the stronger blast with less streams and pulsing on this as compared to the Niagara.
This is a 2.5 gpm head, so it's not especially low flow. But it works well with my low water pressure, compared to other 2.5 gpm heads.
Two thumbs up for the Whedon Economy Plus.
Ill be grouping the showerheads into categories and comparing within the category and also amongst the categories. So look for a direct comparison with the Niagara and Peerless @ Walmart showerheads and the Whedon, coming soon.
The Whedon Economy Plus is available at Amazon for $11 shipped.
Update:
The Peerless @ Walmart wins the category so far...but has no trickle setting.
