Hi - has anyone used one of those valves that you put on the shower
that helps keep water usage down?
There seems to be a conflict of interests hers - conserving water and
having enough flow to enjoy it!
Let me know what you think!

There are valves, and then there are flow restrictors. The valves
allow you to cut off the water while lathering. The flow restrictors
minimize the stream of water. The key is to get a showerhead that
works well. In our travle trailer, with its diminutive shower, there
is a showerhead with both, making it possible to take a nice shower
using only 3 to 5 gallons of water, and a sponge bath with about a
gallon.
Contrast that to those big flat disk-shaped showerheads that can use a
couple of gallons per minute or more.

I went through a ton of showerheads that were lousy and/or didn't last
long until I found a Speakman one, and this one has lasted for years.
