Water-efficient showerheads are good for the environment and your water bill. We've gathered water usage results and product information from Australia's Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) database, as well as popular retailers, to help you find a water-saving showerhead that isn't a total drip.

Our comparison table shows you:

Specifications include the number of additional functions the showerhead has, whether the shower uses an arm or hose, whether the arm is adjustable, and where the flow control is located.

In Australia, water fixtures and some appliances must be registered and assessed for their water usage efficiency. As well as a score of one to four stars, the showerhead must also clearly display the flow rate per minute. The higher the rating, the more water-efficient it is. For more information, and to search the database, go to waterrating.gov.au.
