And not just short showers, but managing the amount of time the water is actually running. Here’s my strategy for an efficient shower:
1. turn on the water, get in, rinse down, soak a wash cloth
2. turn off water
3. lather hair with shampoo
4. lather wash cloth with soap and scrub body
5. turn on water and rinse down
The majority of the time we’re standing in the shower, we don’t actually need the water to be running.
- pbhjpbhj 4y agoIt gets really cold without the shower water running. Our indoor temperature in the day is 16-18°C in Winter (UK).

- upsidesinclude 4y agoTurning off your heat is costing you money. You don't want to cycle all the heat out of the building and then have to warm it back up. It's called heat capacity and the materials themselves require so much heat before you feel warm. TL:DR Turn your heat down, but not off. Save money
