How much water is used in a 5-minute shower?

Answer 1

Reg. shower heads are 2.5 gal. per min. -- 2.5 x 5 = 12.5 gal.
Most shower heads these days limit the amount of water flow to less than 3 gallons a minute, so a five minute shower would use about 15 gallons (57 liters).
My shower head has 2.5 gpm written on it. I believe most shower heads have the same rate of flow. 2.5gpm x 5 min = 12.5 Gallons I suggest checking your own showerhead to see if the gpm is listed. You can always check with its accuracy with a five gallon bucket. Let your shower run for five minutes and count how many times you can fill the bucket.
