What uses more water a shower or a bath?

I would think a shower.. But maybe a bath.. Well I have no idea. ha ha.


I'm just curious.What uses more water a shower or a bath?
All depends on the user. If you have a water saver head in the shower and take a quick shower as authorities suggest (3-5 minutes) then generally the shower would. Unless when you have a bath and you only 1/4 fill it then it would be the bath. If you are like me when you have a bath and fill it to the top and then lay in there for ages and when it gets cold you let a little water out then refill it with some more hot and then run your head under the tap to wash the conditioner out of your hair then definately not the bath,lol. Needless to say, I dont have baths very often these days in drought ridden Australia. On the other hand, my friend (male) gets in his shower and it has a huge BUSH SHOWER HEAD and he stays in there for like 20 minutes. Well, you can imagine the water he wastes.





You can be water concsious with either a bath or shower. It is how you utilise the water that counts.What uses more water a shower or a bath?
A Shower uses less energy, usually the shower uses less water but it depends on the shower head.


If you want to test the amount of water used in a shower vs. a bath is to put the plug in the bath next time you take a shower.


After you've showered, see how much the tub filled up.


If there is less water than you would usually have in a bath, then you will probably save money by taking a shower instead of a bath.


Make sure you reuse the water you put in the bath for the garden and other things.


I hope this helps :)
It all depends on how long of a shower you normally take, and how much you fill your bathtub. My son fills the tub to swimming level, my daughter takes 25 minutes showers. I don't know which is worse, but I'm about to start charging them for cleaning themselves.





If you want to test which method uses less water for you...then take a shower as you normally would, with the plug in the tub, and see how high the water goes by the time you're done. If it's less water than you would normally use in a bath, then showers are better.
It depends on how long you stay in the shower for, or how much water you put in the tub. Generally, a shower uses less water than a full tub.
I would've thought a shower, because the water is coming out continuously while a bath has has the same amount of water because you're filling tub. but that's just my opinion :)
i think a shower because the water just keeps going and going but i think people have done like tests and they say that they are the same but i don't believe them
Shower.
It all depends on how long u stay in the shower...%26amp; how dirty u are.
im guessing most of the time its a bath
