How many gallons of water do you waste in the shower every minute?

Answer 1

depending on opening and pressure possibly 2,000 GPM with no flow restrictors

an open pipe, no shower head, will pump around 10 gallons per minute. a high volume shower head, about 8 gpm and highly restricted will dump less than 3 gallons per minute.

try it yourself, use a garden hose and a 5 gallon bucket and shut the hose off at 30 seconds. double that for the quantity you would get at 60 seconds.

Answer 2

My shower head in rv says 2.5 gpm, and user manual says the gray water tank is 39 gallons but I just tested system hooked up to house outside faucet for water supply and started with empty tank. It ran for 40 minutes before tanks was full and started bubbling drain traps. IF manual is correct and tank is 39 gallon then I had a slighty less than 1 gpm.

Answer 3

In the U.S. shower heads are limited to 2.5 gallons per minute, so you're shower shouldn't be any greater than that. If you have a bucket you could hold it under the water to see how full it gets after 30 sec. Multiply that amount by two and you'll have how many gallons per minute your shower head is. If you have the ability you could also not turn the water on all the way, keep the pressure down, and you'll use less.

No nothing keeps the water cold. The water coming out will be about 60-65º F. This is the approximate temperature of the earth. The typical shower is over 100 ºF (the water will feel neutral, neither warm nor cold, at body temperature). So taking a cold shower will save some.

When they take showers in Europe where they have water heaters that are much smaller than here, they turn the water on only when you need it to rinse, etc. When they are lathering the water is off.

You could also turn down the temperature on your water heater to save money keeping all of that water warm.

Good Luck Showering!
