Showering

A 5-minute shower can use almost half as much water as a full bath. With a new 2.5 gallon-per-minute (low-flow) shower head, a 5-minute shower will use less than 13 gallons of water, saving you 8-10 gallons of water over a typical bath. A new showerhead also will save energy — up to $145 each year on electricity — beating out both the bath and an old-fashioned showerhead.
