Not true, the falltime simply delays the starting time and the stopping
time by equal amounts. The amount of water used is independent of the
height of the showerhead and depends only on the elapsed time the water
is turned on.

Most of us frugal people account for the falltime delay by anticipating
the end of the shower and turning the water off a few milliseconds before
the showering is actually completed.
