Abstract

This research was conducted on current shower head and new shower heads. There are several methods on reducing the water usage at home. The current shower head selected is due to being commonly used by consumers. With studies that have been made, findings show that a shower head is one of the home appliances that use most of water. Therefore, research has been done and found that size of the nozzle hole and shape of shower head affect the water flow of the shower head. In order to solve this problem, an approach based on the resizing the nozzle hole and changing the shape of the shower head. The current and new shower heads was compared by the effect of water flow and the shape of shower head. As a result of this study, new design (2) of shower head has the highest velocity which is 5.88 m/s compared to others. Thus, the optimum water flow required for shower obtained with consideration of water coverage on to user body.
