Some people have asked me why I need more than one shower head in my shower. My responses have been a combination of the following statements: a) more is better b) to pressure blast all dirt from my body c)why are you asking me this stupid question and finally when it becomes evident that they don't understand/are appalled by my unscrupulous waste of water I hit them with the home improvement line. My shower (amazingly) delivers approximately 5.5 gallons per minute and as you may or may not know, it is illegal to sell shower heads in the US that deliver more than 2.5gpm. You can "hack" your shower head by removing the washer and making the hole in the head larger by means of knife/drill/etc... but you'll probably only get another 1gpm from doing that. My problem is that since 5.5gpm>3.5gpm I have about 2gpm coming out of the bottom bath spigot in my shower causing the enamel to errode in the tub. So...getting a second shower head is really just a matter of improving my apartment and therefore a justified and smart purchase, not a vain one. I'm actually not wasting water, I'm saving water because I am redirecting the wasted 2gpm back up to the shower head so I will need less water to shower.  
it's love at first shower...
