			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the ever present drive to make small yet measure-able changes which, just maybe, might help make things a little bit better, the <a title="A great shower experience..." href="http://www.waterpikecoflow.com/ECO-563/" target="_blank">EcoFlow<sup>™</sup> 5 Mode</a> product was purchased.<br />
<img class="size-full wp-image-11 alignleft" title="eco-563_lg" src="http://folktrash.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/eco-563_lg.jpg" alt="" width="174" height="285" /></p>
<p>It seems to retail for no less than $50, but if one were to purchase it via Bed, Bath, &amp; Beyond, while citing the <a title="$5 is $5" href="http://www.waterpik-store.com/product_detail.asp?T1=WAT+ECO-563&amp;.&amp;__utma=1.1822278680.1210434196.1213017053.1213547527.3&amp;__utmb=1.2.10.1213547527&amp;__utmc=1&amp;__utmx=-&amp;__utmz=1.1213017272.2.4.utmgclid=CPOQlqm555MCFSQdagodclJeWw|utmccn=(not%20set)|utmcmd=(not%20set)&amp;__utmv=-&amp;__utmk=262675596" target="_blank">$5 rebate/discount available from the manufacturer</a>, they&#8217;ll match that price; Add that to the 20% coupon going around, and it&#8217;s still a pricey purchase, but not quite so.</p>
<p>Installation was quit painless. There was a very slight slow single drip leak from the primary attachment which tightened up on it&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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 &#8220;pause&#8221; feature which further reduces water flow (though not completely &#8211; 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.</p>
<p>Round off the experience with a cute <a title="Very tiny, but quite effective." href="http://usa.envirosax.com/pages/products.php?icat=23" target="_blank">4-minute timer</a>, 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.</p>
<p><strong>The Dirty Secret</strong></p>
<p>The packaging for this product is terrible. It is mind-numbing how something so considerate in purpose could come in such an <a title="It'll cut you AND prevent recycling." href="http://www.waterpikecoflow.com/images/ECO.jpg" target="_blank">offensive container</a>. Follow the well-meaning crowd and <a title="Clunky form, but it works." href="http://www.waterpik.com/customer-service/contact-us.html" target="_blank">send them an email</a> requesting that they change to more sensible packaging. And if you care to &#8211; notice the <a title="She wants your email." href="http://www.waterpik.com/customer-service/" target="_blank">lady on the page before</a>.</p>
