And while it’s still not recommended for low-pressure showers, it worked surprisingly well on our electric shower. If eight billion people used a five-nozzle mist shower, all wind turbines in the world could still only provide two billion people with a daily hot shower.

I showered this way consistently when I was traveling in North India: when I was lucky, a guest house would be able to deliver a hot bucket. We have it all from kitchen and bathroom taps, shower mixers, and towel heated rails to toilets, basins, and many other essential bathroom accessories. Studying the contextual dependence of resource consuming conventions and lessons for sustainable tourism. This large format shower head envelopes the user in a curtain of water and light, featuring three showering modes: double rain showers, a waterfall shower and water mist, as well as a central chromotherapy lighting strip, managed via an easy-to-use remote control supplied in the same finish as the head. Washing long hair is more problematic, but also in this case the problem can be addressed by opening the nozzles a bit more, increasing the water flow.

In both cases, swab tests of bacteria on the skin showed that mist showers clean the body just as well as a “normal” shower of the same duration – using 30 to 40 times less water. You get a good, forceful spray on any system with above 1 bar of pressure, but the built-in regulator limits the flow to a very reasonable 9L per minute. We saved water from sinks and bathing to flush the toilets, and waste water from the washing machine to water landscape plants, although not vegetables for food safety. This approach reminds me of one of the earliest posts I encountered on Low-tech Magazine, outlining localized heating options that heat the immediate space around a person rather than the entire available space in the structure.

Combining a low-flow shower head or mist shower with a warmer bathroom might be even more efficient, though I have some reservations about the long-term effects on the structure from the mist shower.

So, let’s see what happens when we decrease the number of nozzles, still assuming average shower frequency and duration.

There’s also factors influencing energy and/or water use that these institutions don’t dare to question: shower frequency, water temperature (“take cold showers”), or the act of showering itself – it is never suggested that a sponge bath would actually suffice.I’m also a bit paranoid about steam/condensation/moisture in my bathroom, and any detrimental effects on my home. You can combine a traditional shower head with either a exposed style shower valve or a concealed system for a transitional shower room look. It’s also a fantastic option for anyone who loves a bit of bathroom-related coordination; products from the same range include everything from bathrobe hooks and soap dishes to toilet roll holders and heated rails for towels. Thank you for yet another v interesting and thought-provoking article, and to all the people who made constructive comments.

The lack of spray patterns may be an issue, but our testers liked the power and impressive, all-round overage, not to mention the distinctive style.It’s refreshing to have a consistent source of perspective and paths forward that isn’t just putting the word “green” or “recyclable” on it so they can sell more. We also switched to low flow shower heads, and I substituted sponge baths for showers 3-4 days per week. These can be replaced without too much difficulty, but most replacement heads are for the more common handheld type and that’s what we’ll be focusing on here. I’ve been journaling/e-mailing our local college contact and the city’s sustainability officer in Kalamazoo, Michigan for the past three weeks. It puts me in a warm space, where I can comfortably turn the shower to a lower temperature, and get in and out faster.
