Showers - Could a Low Power Shower be Right for you?

According to a report on the BBC, many homeowners are faced with a dilemma when it comes to their showers. Whilst it goes without saying that everyone wants to try and do their part to help the environment, the added invigoration of power showers can be hard to resist but given the fact that power showers can use 16 litres of water in little over a minute is causing concern for homeowners of an environmentalist disposition. There are many lower velocity showers on the market that conserve considerably more energy and cut down on emissions of CO2 dramatically. It is common knowledge that taking showers instead of baths saves not only energy but also water as well but the use of power showers is starting to diminish the gap between the two types of bathing, with estimates suggesting that 5 minutes in power showers can often use as much water as a bath.

Showers - Taking a Look at Statistics

More and more homeowners are installing showers in their bathrooms in favour of bathtubs, which is obviously a step in the right direction so far as addressing the issue of emissions and climate is concerned. It is important to realise, however, that in order for showers to be the greener option, they have to be used in a manner that isn't excessive. According to the report on the BBC, some important facts to remember when it comes to showers, particularly power showers, include:

• Power showers can use as much as 16 litres a minute which is more than amount an average person gets in an entire day in many developing countries.
• Changing water intensive power showers with slightly lower power ones can save you as much as 35 litres every time that you shower and the difference in performance is seldom that noticeable.
• If you use showers instead of baths everyday then, over the course of the year, you will save approximately 12,000 litres of water which will obviously reduce your water and heating bills.
• If everyone in England, Wales and Scotland cut their time in showers by a single minute, enough water would be saved to supply London, Birmingham and Leeds for a whole day.
