Question

Does a 15 minute shower or a bath use more water?

Answer 1

most new shower heads use 2.5 gallons per minute @ 80 psi.2.5 X 15=37.5 gallons of water. To figure amount of water in tub, width X lenght X height = cubic ft X 7.5 gallons. example; 5 ft X 3 ft X .6 = 9 cu, ft. 9 X 7.5= 67.5 gallons. this is not exact  because max lenth of tub is 5 ft and tub is smaller at bottom and gets bigger as it goes up, but measure at midways up on water level on width and lenth

Answer 2

A bath because you have to fill up the tub. If you use a low flow showerhead your shower could use a gallon or two of water.

Answer 3

showers use more water. baths use less,because you can control the amount of water used.

Answer 4

It depends on the speed of the water that comes out.  But overall, a shower takes less water than a bath.  I take a 15 minute shower and I put the plug in so my feet can soak in the water, and at the end of the shower I only have a few inches of water in the tub.  If I take a bath its usually atleast half full.  So my answer is that a bath takes more water.

Answer 5

here is how to find out.the next time you take a shower just put a stopper in/on the tub drain and shower as usual. then you can visibly see the amount of water that was used.
