Evolve Showerhead Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)


We really do put forth an effort to be green at our house. Saving the environment not to mention money is a pretty big deal to us. When it came to my showers though, it was almost something I didn't want to sacrifice. When you live a life like mine, shower time is usually the only time you get to yourself.

Our showerhead was one of those $3 low flow shower heads you can buy at your local hardware store. Simply put, it sucked. I really didn't feel like I was saving anything with this low flow head. It felt like I would spend more time (meaning more water) in the shower just to get the shampoo out of my hair. Needless to say I was aggravated. There had to be a better solution. That's when I heard about Evolve Showerheads.



I was super excited to have the chance to review the Water Lily showerhead from Evolve. The Water Lily is a full flow showerhead, but it integrates smart ShowerStart™ technology. This technology allows you to be more green without having to sacrifice the flow. If your house is like mine, it takes a minute for the water to warm up. Usually, I find myself completing other tasks while I wait. The showerhead monitors the shower’s temperature and “triggers a trickle” as soon as the water reaches 95 degrees. This prevents your hot water and money from running down the drain before you can get in the shower. With the Evolve showerhead in place, not only have you eliminated the water and energy waste, but the sound of the trickle tells you that your shower’s ready. Once you're ready to hop in, you simply just pull the chain to resume normal flow. It's just that easy!

The Water Lily has some excellent features:
ShowerStart™ technology - save time, water & money without lowering water flow
maximum flow rate allowable by law (2.5 pgm)
multi-function rain head
works with standard shower arm
ideal balance of coverage and great flow
3 spray patterns: rain, massage and a combination spray
solid brass fittings
anti-clog nozzles


In addition to being so cool, an Evolve showerhead can save a yearly average of 2,700 gallons of water, the fossil-fueled energy it takes to heat it—and up to $75 off your utility bill. So, within the first year, you'll already have savings to pay for it. Yes, it's just that awesome.

We loved the Water Lily showerhead we received! I loved how I finally had the water pressure back! No longer did I feel like I was sacrificing my alone time! Actually, with the 3 spray patterns, the Water Lily helped me relax! I would definitely recommend this! With the Water Lily ranging from $70-$75 coupled with the water savings of $75 within a year, this is a no brainer!

I use green bags every time I go out to shop. But I do collect plastic bags from grocery stores sometimes to use as trash bags at home, so that I don't have to buy them. This is to reduce the cost of trash bags and also decrease the use of them.

We have been trying to be greener a little at a time. Things like changing to compact fluorescent bulbs, using our own bags at the stores, turning things off more in the house, making fewer trips to the store to reduce car usage, etc. The showerhead would be perfect for us to help start working on saving more water!

I've started to unplug everything if I'm not using it..the microwave, television, lamps etcc.. i never knew that they use electricity even if they're plugged in!
Also I made a bet with my husband that I would walk to do some of my errands in the day if I had time (I walked to the post office one day last week and 4 people stopped and asked me if I needed a ride..haha..not sure my small town is ready for a green walker yet!)
