Not Sure?

To find out if you have low-flow showerheads, first get permission to do this test. Then:  
    1. Get two buckets, a watch with a second hand, and a measuring cup.
    2. Hold one bucket under the showerhead and have someone turn on the water at full pressure.
    3. Let the water run into the bucket for 15 seconds.
    4. Measure how many cups of water are in the bucket.
    5. Multiply the number of cups in the bucket by 4 to determine how many cups per minute come throught your showerhead.
    6. Divide the number of cups per minute by 16 to get the number of gallons per minute.
    7. Go water a plant so that you don't waste the water.
If the amount is 2.5 gallons per minute or less, the showerhead is a low-flow unit.
