How many liters of water is used in a shower?

Answer 1

It depends on both the amount of time and the type of shower head. It usually ranges from 20 to 160 liters of water for a ten minute shower.

Edit: A typical shower will use about 160 liters of water. In addition, the average shower uses approximately 10.0022 liters of water per minute. (EarthCareCanada.com)

Answer 2

That may depnd on your shower fitting, water pressure, water tempreature and so on.

A new New Zealand designed shower head called the Methven Satin Jet is proving effective at 7.6 litre per minute. I've just installed 315 of them into a hotel, cutting down from nearly 15 litre per minute and so far getting very good comments on great showers from guests. :-)

The old 30 litre per minute water waste showers are simply poor water droplet dispersion. Good pressure is important but the nozzle design is the key. You need a sensation of wetness, and Methven AMOUNG OTHERS is achieving this with directing miniture jets of water at each other to atomise the spray giving a wetter feel with less water. I love efficiency, but when this pays back so fast I get really wound up ;-) The hotel will have paid back the full set of new showers in under a year from water and energy savings.
