More about High Sierra
In his passion for addressing and solving a need, David Malcolm applied his extensive knowledge of agricultural technology to design his patented showerheads. For over 15 years, David designed and manufactured high-efficiency FCI nozzles for agricultural and golf course irrigation. By facilitating nozzle manufacturing techniques similar to FCI sprinkler nozzles, David designed a unique hose-end nozzle for hand watering golf course greens in 2004. For the first time, golf green irrigators enjoyed a nozzle that does not plug and rapidly applied the precise amount of water without damaging turf, moving seed, or saturating the soil too quickly.David’s experimentation resulted in a nozzle that mechanically erupts a stream of water into a controlled and consistent shower spray of large, soft droplets uniform in their size and distribution. In 2006, the realization struck of the potential applications that were possible by using his spray nozzle technology. This was the basis of his 1.5 GPM low-flow shower head that provides a stimulating shower that also saves water, energy, and money.Today, the 1.5 GPM High Sierra Showerheads® are in full production and gain in popularity each year. Our designs incorporate a proven non-plugging technology that provides the feel of a conventional shower with the advantage of using 40% less water and the convenience of being virtually maintenance-free. David Malcolm was awarded a patent for his innovative nozzle technology in 2007 and a second patent is pending for his shower head designs.
The custom designs of the FCS devices at High Sierra Showerheads® are rooted in agricultural technology. Our product line virtually eliminates plugging problems that plague common water-saving, low-flow plumbing fixtures. With a full understanding that an irrigation device better not plug, David Malcolm’s chief motive and approach from the start was to apply agricultural technology to produce a better product for homes and institutions.
