Our Mission

 Why choose ShowerPower? In the United States, about 240 million people shower every day. On average, each shower lasts 8.2 minutes with a flow rate of 2.5 gallons per minute. This means each person uses about 21 gallons of water per shower. When you multiply this by 240 million people, Americans use 5 billion gallons of water every day just for showers.

Over a year, that adds up to 1.8 trillion gallons. Globally, with 1 billion shower heads in use, showers consume around 7.5 trillion gallons of water annually. ShowerPower’s product was designed to increase pressure for low pressure shower heads that operate for longer periods of time to displace soap and shampoo and conditioner from the body and hair.

Estimates show approximately 20% of shower heads (or 200 Million units globally) perform at lower pressure requiring more shower time using more water. Conserving water while enhancing the shower experience was the key motivation behind the invention of ShowerPower. The Science Behind ShowerPower: In the USA, the average shower lasts about 8 minutes.

Around 20% of showers suffer from poor water pressure, which can extend shower times to 12 minutes to wash away soaps and shampoos. Increasing shower pressure from 20 to 50 PSI (a 150% increase) can reduce shower times from 12 minutes back to 8 minutes, saving 4 minutes per shower. With a flow rate of 2.5 gallons per minute, these savings amount to 10 gallons per shower.

About 72% of the US population (approximately 240 million people) showers daily, with roughly 50 million experiencing lower water pressure issues. Water Conservation Revolutionized Saving 10 gallons per day for those 50 million showers adds up to 500 million gallons of water saved daily, or 182 billion gallons per year. Heating water to 105 degrees Fahrenheit costs about $0.30 per shower for those using 20 gallons in 8-minute showers, equating to roughly $0.015 per gallon. Saving 100 billion gallons also reduces heating costs by approximately $3 billion. At an energy cost of $0.12 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), this equals 25 billion kWh for $3 billion in energy costs, or 21 billion pounds of CO₂ emissions saved per year. This equates to approximately 10 Million metric tons of CO₂ saved by improving shower pressure and reducing energy costs associated with heating shower water.
