- iancmceachern 2y agoBut if it worked that way (using a small amount of water over and over to clean) would be gross and unsanitary in this case. One could filter it but that costs a lot of energy and changing a filter weekly on your shower pod would not be very green.
- _ZeD_ 2y agoit's not unsanitary on your plates, why should it be on your skin?
- sitharus 2y agoYour plates can be washed with temperatures that would scald you and with chemicals that dissolve your skin. But you don’t want to sanitise your skin, just get the dirt off, so I don’t see any real issues.

- iancmceachern 2y agoThe issue is that water would be so dirty and gross. The same water that washed your rear end will then be sprayed on your face. If you are only using a few gallons (not like a bath which has dozens) that's pretty gnarly.
- eru 2y ago> But if it worked that way (using a small amount of water over and over to clean) would be gross and unsanitary in this case. Have you ever taken a bath?
- iancmceachern 2y agoYes. Imagine bath water but with the same amount of dirt that would be in 50 gallons in a bath in 5 gallons in this thing. It would be 10x grosser.
- eru 2y agoWhat kind of crazy big baths are you taking?
- iancmceachern 2y agoIf you google "average bath size" you find 30-70 gallons. 50 is right in the middle.
- eru 2y agoI suspect those numbers are for filling the tub to the brim? Is that normal?
- iancmceachern 2y agoAre you a manager? It seems like you can answer these questions for yourself rather than asking a stranger on the internet. Let us know what you find.
- eru 2y agoThis was a polite way of me telling you that I don't think that's normal, and that quoting the bathtub max capacity is fairly meaningless.
- iancmceachern 2y agoIt would have been more polite to offer the actual stat. Do the research and come to the table with that in hand. I would have quoted that if it were easy to find, or quantify. It's not. I encourage you to do so, put the work in, and let us know what you find. Its not that I don't agree with you, it's that I want you to do the work for yourself.
- SoftTalker 2y agoIt looks like it completely fills and drains that big chamber at least a couple of times. If it were just a sprayer mechanism yeah that could be somewhat water-efficient.
