NEBIA BY MOEN


Conserving water while tak-
ing a shower no longer has
to be an exercise in monas-
tic self-denial. The new Nebia
swiveling showerhead cuts the
waste without dialing back the
opulence. The main head is a
massive eight inches in diam-
eter and uses six mini-nozzles
to disperse millions of droplets
in a fine, wide-angle spray—
nebbia is fog in Italian—pro-
viding a lot of coverage with
as little water as possible. The
Nebia flows at 1.35 gallons per
minute, which is about 35 per-
cent less than most low-flow
showerheads and 45 percent
less than a standard one. The
head is mounted on a vertical
slide rail that gives it a range
of 17 inches. I lowered mine
so the Nebia’s fine mist could
soak my thick head of hair. I
appreciated the hand wand for
rinsing off my legs and feet, as
well as for its convenient mag-
netic dock. The only negative:
I had to downgrade my dog to
chilly outdoor showers, since
too much fog engulfed the
bathroom when I tried to get
her fully rinsed off.
