No and yes it matters how long your in but for me i am in the shower for 5-10 minuets and it uses more then a bath. The reason is that when your in a bath the same water is being used through your cleaning but with a shower it is being filtered the whole time. For me I would recommend using the shower because it is a cleaner way to clean yourself.

Baths usually use more water than a shower, especially a short shower. However children sharing a bath, for example, would probably use less water than separate showers. It depends too on how fast the shower is running.

Taking a Shower is better than taking a Bath!! When you take a shower the dirt runs off you with the water. But in a bath you are still sitting in the ditry water so... Take showers and not baths!! Esp ladies. esp. during that time.... you don't want to be sitting in that water.... Other times if you are tired and want to relax take a bubble bath and Chill

What uses more a bath or a ten minute shower?

It depends on how big your bath is, and how fast the water is running in the shower.An average bath uses between 30-50 gallons of water. An average four minute shower with an old shower head uses 20 gallons of water. With a low-flow shower head, you only use 10 gallons of water.So a shower is probably better. People who are interested in saving water would try to limit their shower time to four minutes. You don't need 10 minutes to wash yourself.

A graph of whether you use more water taking a bath or a shower?

We can't provide graphs on WikiAnswers. However, here is an answer to a similar question: It depends on your shower head and whether it has a flow restrictor in it and how long you shower. If your home was built before 1992, chances are your showerheads put out about five gallons of water per minute (gpm). Multiply this by the number of minutes you're in the shower, and the water adds up fast! An average bath requires 30-50 gallons of water. The average shower of four minutes with an old shower head uses 20 gallons of water. With a low-flow shower head, only 10 gallons of water is used. To test the amount of water used in a shower vs. a bath is to put the plug in the bath next time you take a shower (but not a stand-alone shower as you might spill over the lower shower wall). After you've showered, see how much the tub filled up. If there is less water than you would usually have in a bath, then you will probably save money by taking a shower instead of a bath.

Is it more efficent to take a bath or a shower?

It depends how long you are in the shower for. A quick shower is more efficient than a bath. A power shower for a long period ( i.e. 10 mins ) may not be more efficient than a bath, depending uponm how much water it uses.Also, some people share bath water, making it ultimately more efficient than showering.It depends on how long you are in the shower for, if it is just you that has to wash, and whether you have a power shower or not.Generally however, for single persons having a quick wash, they are more efficient. If there is more than 1 person, a bath (all use the same water)If just one then a quick shower. Long showers (20min+) are worse than baths, even for just one person.


Who is an expert on wether a bath or shower uses more water?

anybody can be an expert. A shower head will say how many gallons per minute it uses (read as gpm). Set a timer for how long you shower for and compare the amount of water you used to how much water it takes to fill a tub. Your local water department can probably give you statistics for a study of this, too.
