No. Once down the drain, it is gone. The water from the shower head is continuously new and fresh.

Why does a shower-only drain get calcium buildup and a bath tub drain does not?
Most likely, your shower is tiled, and the water is eroding your grout, causing a buildup at the water line. Most tubs only have tiled surround so the water doesn't get blocked up.
Why would your bathroom shower begin to flood everytime you use your upstairs shower or sink?
The shower drain and waste lines on up to the other fixtures located above need to be clear so that water will flow. Just downhill of the shower drain there is probably a blockage in the waste pipe. The blockage could cause slow draining. If it is completely blocked, the shower pan will not drain back out over time. You will need to run a plumbers snake down the line below the shower drain. If the toilet in the same room as the shower when flushed also shows water coming into the shower drain, it will be best to take up the toilet off the base and run a plumbers snake from that point. Warning for very slow draining lines or lines that do not drain, DO NOT use Drain cleaning chemicals. Good luck and you may wish to call rotorooter.

Thay do make a device that can be installed into an exsisting drain it lets water through your drain but will not let water back up through you shower drain.
What uses less water a bath or a shower?
a shower if you take a quick one.Actually, it's a bath. When you are taking a shower, you usually want it to be warm or hot. While you are waiting for the shower water to heat up, water is going down the drain. While you are applying soap on your washcloth, water is going down the drain. While you are washing yourself, you don't want the shower water to rinse until the soap is all over you. It's going down the drain. As you're rinsing off, it's going down the drain.With a bath, you may wait for the water to heat up. After that, you plug up the pluggy thingy and the water stays. It only leaves when you take off the pluggy thingy.a shower :):):):):):):):):):):):)?:):)The answer is a shower uses far less water than a bath. A five minute showers uses a third of the amount of water used in bathing.
What causes a drain in the shower to leak?
The shower may be leaking from: 1) A failure of the drain and associated piping itself (e.g., corrosion of the cast iron floor drain), 2) A failure of the shower pan, which is an ostensibly waterproof liner (may be metal or synthetic polymer) embedded in the tile floor (or comprising the plastic floor) which is mechanically connected to the drain; or 3) Leakage of water in the shower's surrounding area (walls, non-pan floor area, etc.) which is accumulating and dripping near the drain.
