Bottom line--- If you want to make a decent living---be a plumber!

I had a union plumber re plumb my entire house, 3000sq feet, with recirc hot water, 100% copper, 1" plumbing, all above slab, for $9000, and that is in SO CA!!! That included a 75 gal hot water heater, recirc pump and two custom showers with controlled temp. 6 lavs and one kitchen. not cheep, but not bad.

One "super"shower flows 20 gal per min. Thats using 40year old shower heads I salvaged from other houses I own (Speakman model 1). Like standing under a water fall not a stinging mist. Eat your hearts out!!! You can choose anything from 1 gal per min to 20 gal per min, fuk the gov, let the consumer decide! OR you can go with the political correct 2.5 gal per min heads, all 10 of them. Hipocrits and 2.5 gal is still a stinging mist, no matter how many heads you have. 10 2.5 gal per min heads is 25 gal per min, no water savings here. I am considering making replacas of the original Speakman head if anyone is interested. One inch plumbing required.
