A Small – But Effective – Fix For Your Fixer-Upper

By
Real Estate Agent with Simply Vegas

 

You already know that your Las Vegas investment property requires major investments of time, energy, and money. If you're thinking about upgrading a bathroom, consider starting in a small way – replace your shower head. Fixtures come with a dazzling array of features, including those which save both money and water. Whether you opt for a simple hand shower, or a deluxe electronic system, it's now possible to customize your bathroom in styles as complex – or bare-bones – as you like.

As American society continues to move towards ecologically-sound “green” features, you're sure to find many such shower heads available. Many models have water-saving features, ranging in price from basic styles priced in the $20-$30 range, to electronic systems selling for hundreds (or even thousands!) of dollars.

You've no doubt seen Energy Star ratings on major household appliances; the EPA now offers Water Sense ratings for bathroom fixtures. These ratings are designed to help you determine the best ways to conserve water and save money when you install new bathroom hardware. These shower heads help you to save water by cutting the flow rate from the usual 2.5 gallons per minute, to 1.6 gallons per minute – providing savings of nearly 40%. You can also find models which deliver the water with greater force, making the difference virtually unnoticeable.

Another popular trend lies in convenience and customization. You'll find many terrific features built in, making shower options more accessible, without the steep price tag which accompanies multi-headed shower systems. For instance, American Standard has added a nifty sliding button to their hand showers, making it easier for users to shift between the shower head’s multiple functions.

Some pricier models, which operate off of thermostatic valves, offer the ultimate in shower customization. They offer complete – and sometimes remote – control of the water-flow rate and temperature. There's even a top-of-the-line model from DTC which features controllable music and light shows!
