At 1.3gpm, you're already well into this-is-an-unsatisfying-flow-rate territory. I stayed at a camp once that had .9gpm showers, and even though our time limits were a lot more lenient than what is described in TFA, it was close to the point where I would have rather had a bucket and a sponge.
1.8gpm is the current standard for California, just as an example, and I would say subjectively ~2.5gpm is where you hit genuinely satisfying amounts of water.
- _boffin_ 4y agoTook a unique shower experience at White's Landing on Catalina Island. It was late at night and the open-roof stall was surrounded by walls. The stalls were divided by plywood walls with a 2ft gap from the ground and curtains. Wind was strong, around 20-30 mph, making everything blow around. The temperature was chilly, mid-50s, and water pressure was low, around 1 GPM. There was also fox poop in the next stall. Despite these conditions, showering under the stars with my partner was a memorable moment. We laughed at the strange noises we made due to the cold and wind. We realized that we should shower earlier next time.
