tuesday / saving water is bullshit
April 26th, 2010the water saving shower head is a good idea/invention as it does save water by slowing the down the water that flows out of the shower head but it i believe it doesn’t work and it is actually just something invented to satisfy people who want to do something for the environment. it’s just a way to fill that market. i actually have one installed and i hate it.
how it feels to take a shower with a water saving shower head: it feels like the amount of water hitting me is the same as having three people spitting at me. or it feels like one person peeing on your head. an ant or any insect could probably withstand the blast, or should i say “trickle”, from this shower head.
in the end, i don’t think it works with saving water because i now spend LONGER in the shower trying to clean myself. it takes too long to “blast” the shampoo out of my hair and wash off the soap from my skin with water that seems to touch me like if the weather outside is “sprinkling”. i was actually spending a much shorter time in the shower when i was using my normal shower head. so since i’m in the shower much longer (almost double the time), it means i’m probably using the exact same amount of water in the end. there seems to be no benefits. the only benefit i can see is that those environmental lovers can FEEL like they are saving water.
to get the soap out, i actually have to put a lot more effort into scrubbing the soap and shampoo out. which means i am using up more energy to do so. i can’t take a quicker shower because the soap and shampoo won’t come off your body as quickly. when i come out of the shower, i kind of feel less clean and less satisfied. you don’t really feel “fresh” coming out of the shower. i dread taking a shower now-a-days.
if you have a water saving shower head, you know what i’m talking about. for those who don’t have a water saving shower head, do NOT install one.
if you want to save water, take shorter showers and use water wisely else where. water saving shower heads don’t work.
