The linked post "Showering at the South Pole" is interesting as well. From how they get their water to its rationing.
If you arrive on a 90 day journey, you can bank your shower points (not shower) until your last day in the station, and spend your shower credits for a 52 minute shower! (1.3 gallons/minute)

> Reasonable options are as follows:
> Every 3 days: 102.9 shower-seconds. That’s 1 minute, 42.9 seconds. Bold and daring! Can you rinse off in time?
> Every 4 days: 137.2 shower-seconds. That’s 2 minutes, 17.2 seconds. Enjoy the extra time! You’ve earned it.
> Every 5 days: 171.5 shower-seconds. That’s 2 minutes, 51.5 seconds. Approaching luxury territory. Enjoy every precious, hard-earned second!
> Every 6 days: 205.8 shower-seconds. That’s 3 minutes (!!), 25.8 seconds. High risk, high reward. If you can hold out, you’ll be able to enjoy an indulgent, almost decadent shower.
- therealdrag0 3y agoWhy no mention of a bucket bath? I think being clean is more valuable to me than the actual shower part. So I think I’d opt for the daily .75 gal or every other day 1.5 gal bucket and hand wash myself.
- bunga-bunga 3y agoI think the benefit of the 90-day shower is that participants will start giving you their shower-seconds far earlier than that.
