In the ever present drive to make small yet measure-able changes which, just maybe, might help make things a little bit better, the EcoFlow™ 5 Mode product was purchased.
It seems to retail for no less than $50, but if one were to purchase it via Bed, Bath, & Beyond, while citing the $5 rebate/discount available from the manufacturer, they’ll match that price; Add that to the 20% coupon going around, and it’s still a pricey purchase, but not quite so.
Installation was quit painless. There was a very slight slow single drip leak from the primary attachment which tightened up on it’s own after a couple weeks. It would be advisable not to tighten too tight initially as the plastic ball valve could easily be damaged.
The product experience is fantastic; The handheld mount works great, though not often used; Several modes of spray, all function well, though not often used; No sensation of lack of water pressure at all; And a great “pause” feature which further reduces water flow (though not completely - the primary shower faucet is still required for that) for those shower moments (while soaping) when running water is actually making the task more difficult.
Round off the experience with a cute 4-minute timer, and there exists the possibility of a 6 gallon shower. This particular installation and usage tends to produce showers in the four to 8 minute range.
The Dirty Secret
The packaging for this product is terrible. It is mind-numbing how something so considerate in purpose could come in such an offensive container. Follow the well-meaning crowd and send them an email requesting that they change to more sensible packaging. And if you care to - notice the lady on the page before.
