how to get around low-flow shower head laws.

Sorry, what does that mean? I don't speak Californian.

to save water for everyone, avoid baths and take showers.

I'll shower instead, but fuck anyone that wants me to save water for them

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm a lot more worried about agriculture and golf course water usage (and runoff) than I am the shower gallons.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

My comment was intended as a joke that is relevant to the image posted.

Would you like to spread other true but unrelated propaganda, like meat farms or other agricultural efforts taking up water?

Just remove the extra washer piece from the shower head

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I used to take 30 minute showers, then I removed the extra washer in the shower head and can take a 10 minute shower.

It's good training for when you participate in a riot caused by a drinking water shortage.

I just did a shower remodel and it's extremely difficult to get the flow rates for these things. Even just with a normal shower head, plus rain head, and a single wand, I can empty the 50 gallon hot water tank in about 10 minutes. These crazy drowner showers practically require parallel tankless heaters to supply 10+ gpm.

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

They have a thing I think is called a water mixing valve. You crank your tank way up. The valve mixes cold and super hot water to what would be normal hot water. This makes the hot water tank last a lot longer. We have one, and both kids can take showers/baths at the same time. And I can shower after and still have hot water. The overall flow and pressure of course is still not enough to run more than two shower heads at the same time without noticing. But that's a different issue.

Hey, did you know you can turn around? its like walking without going anywhere just rotating yourself.

Make sure you rotate around the vertical axis, and practice on soft ground before trying it in a wet hard surface like a shower.

[–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Halp, I’m upside down, how do I stop this

Relax, are you familiar with imaginary numbers and their 3d extensions? you might have to read about quaternion rotations .

All this water wasted on your shower could be used to generate a spam email or an image of jesus made of shrimp. Before you waste this much water water, think of what's important in the world, Sam Altman's net worth.

I've never found these more appealing than a good single adjustable angle wall mounted spout with decent pressure. For the life of me I don't know why anyone would want a single ceiling mounted "rain" head. I think those are the worst.

[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Ugh yeah trendy hotels are into these rain water things and it’s just annoying. I’d be more into this pressure washer though.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yes like being drowned. And I don't want to get my hair wet every time I shower! Stayed w my brother, he had an overhead shower like that and I thought my hair would mildew, it was always wet.

Hansgrohe has a shower world about an hour from where I used to live. When we were remodeling our bathroom I spent a happy hour there, trying out all the different shower heads and installation options. It was really interesting to be able to move between different models and feel the difference.

I’m constantly befuddled by the American desire to avoid handheld shower heads. How do you wash your armpits and asshole? Answer? You really don’t, you’re nose blind. I can still smell you, because I pressure wash mine with enough force to cleave marble.

[–] valar@lemmy.ca 32 points 2 weeks ago (9 children)

You can't imagine getting an area clean without a detachable head? We use soap and scrub while under the shower head.

This is an oddly specific misconception. Where do you get that idea? It's fairly standard here for showers to have either a detachable head or separate wand. Cheap hotels and rentals might have shitty showerheads, but that's definitely not specific to the US.

The first handheld, detachable shower head was patented in the United States in 1889 by inventor Lucian L. Waterman.

I find this interesting because everyone I know with the ability to change it has those. I would too if my apartment let me change the damn shower head.

Cuz like... If you ended up in a house with this monstrosity, it looks like you'd have to remodel the entire shower since it doesn't have normal shower heads.

[–] lonefighter@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 weeks ago

I always change my apartment shower head when I move in to a nice handheld one and when I move out I put the shitty renters one back on. The landlord doesn't need to know any different.

Soap and washcloth

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

...You can't raise your arms or bend over slightly? Even a garbage motel shower can hit all my bits. Plus we have soap and washcloths here, or loofahs or those plastic poof things if that's more your style. If you're relying on water pressure rather than the surfactant properties of soap I suggest you get off your hygienic high-horse.

One rain head and a wand is fine for me. As long as the rain head is wide enough to get all of me while I sit on the shower floor letting it run over me while I contemplate my life for 10 minutes. The wand to actually do a good job of soap removal.

I had one of the nice showers with rain head and two wall jets and a wand. The jets never turned off just wasted pressure that could have gone elsewhere.

I am glad the people who bought my townhouse didn't get an inspection because they would have found out that one of the knobs just spun and the other knob wasn't fastened so came loose. The previous people we bought it from did a shoddy remodel that we didn't get an inspection for so we just passed it on. It was our first home so we learned to pay for the inspection with our next place.

Still less water used thsn a small farm lol.

I think something like 97% of our fresh water supply goes into agriculture.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

~~You're not wrong, but~~ it's worth pointing out how most of that water is wasted before some genius chimes in to remind us that we eat food.
