Excitement! My new showerhead is here already.
Oh yes, of course I already had a low-flow showerhead. But this one is even lower-flowing in terms of GPM (gallons per minute). And this one comes complete with a shut-off switch on it--so my water will stay the same temp while I'm shampooing and lathering up with the flow turned off. Flip the switch back on to rinse off.

I don't know anything about showerheads. It is pretty inexpensive, but the one you can get from the city (county?) of Durham for $3 is really cheap. What's the difference? (I imagine my 20 to 30-year-old shower head is single-handedly responsible for Durham's water shortage, and I do mean to replace it).
Hi toastie,
The City of Durham one (that I have now) is just fine. A vast improvement on non-lowflow showerheads I believe.
Mainly because I'm a gadget-freak I wanted one with a shut-off button to keep the water the same temp when I'm temporarily shutting off the water to shampoo and lather.
Also, the City of Durham one flows at 2.5 gallons per minute and my new one is 1.9 gpm.
Just checked this too--the City of Durham's website says "If your showerhead was installed prior to 1993, it could have a flowrate up to 6.0 gallons per minute (gpm)."

Hope this helps. :)
I wonder if it'd be kosher to put one of those up in my apartment. Think that violates some kind of tennant agreement?

I personally think you'd be just fine replacing your showerhead if you wanted. Just keep the old one to put back in place before you move out. At least for me, it was just a simple matter of unscrewing the old one and screwing on the new one.
Here's video from the DIY network, on how-to:
