I feel my water pressure won't be high enough
Moisturize me moisturize me!
[in my best Chuck Heston voice]
"It's a MAAAAD-HOUSE!"
“Turn of the tap on time, water is limited and precious, love yourself and the planet we live on”
Meanwhile…
All this water wasted on your shower could be used to generate a spam email or an image of jesus made of shrimp. Before you waste this much water water, think of what's important in the world, Sam Altman's net worth.
feel the rain on your skin!
You bastard
Hansgrohe has a shower world about an hour from where I used to live. When we were remodeling our bathroom I spent a happy hour there, trying out all the different shower heads and installation options. It was really interesting to be able to move between different models and feel the difference.
One rain head and a wand is fine for me. As long as the rain head is wide enough to get all of me while I sit on the shower floor letting it run over me while I contemplate my life for 10 minutes. The wand to actually do a good job of soap removal.
I had one of the nice showers with rain head and two wall jets and a wand. The jets never turned off just wasted pressure that could have gone elsewhere.
I am glad the people who bought my townhouse didn't get an inspection because they would have found out that one of the knobs just spun and the other knob wasn't fastened so came loose. The previous people we bought it from did a shoddy remodel that we didn't get an inspection for so we just passed it on. It was our first home so we learned to pay for the inspection with our next place.
I just want a wand with a nice balance between pressure and area. My current one is great, it has a setting somewhere between massage head and regular. It's nice and penetrates my hair quickly. That said my other priority is that the head is sufficiently high up. I'm just tall enough I often have to bend over, use the wand part, or sit/kneel to wash my hair, and I hate that. Tall people deserve showers too
+1 to tall people deserve showers. I’m 6’5/1.96m and it’s SO ANNOYING HAVING TO SPEND MY ENTIRE SHOWER SQUATTING RAAAA
Rainhead + regular head both on separate controls. If i need a long hot shower, i turn off the rain head. I find it useful mainly for rinsing.

I just did a shower remodel and it's extremely difficult to get the flow rates for these things. Even just with a normal shower head, plus rain head, and a single wand, I can empty the 50 gallon hot water tank in about 10 minutes. These crazy drowner showers practically require parallel tankless heaters to supply 10+ gpm.
They have a thing I think is called a water mixing valve. You crank your tank way up. The valve mixes cold and super hot water to what would be normal hot water. This makes the hot water tank last a lot longer. We have one, and both kids can take showers/baths at the same time. And I can shower after and still have hot water. The overall flow and pressure of course is still not enough to run more than two shower heads at the same time without noticing. But that's a different issue.
You need to be really careful turning up your heater unless you've got safety mechanisms on every faucet. Even just 140F will scald a stupid kid/adult/worker in seconds. Many people get disfigured and sued every year over this. 125-130F is about as high as you should go unless you have protection everywhere.

how to get around low-flow shower head laws.
Sorry, what does that mean? I don't speak Californian.
they put a plastic or metal doohickey where the shower head connects to the pipe to limit water flow.

Still less water used thsn a small farm lol.
I think something like 97% of our fresh water supply goes into agriculture.
In the US it's definetely not true.
https://css.umich.edu/publications/factsheets/water/us-water-supply-and-distribution-factsheet
https://www.epa.gov/watersense/how-we-use-water
Pre-datacenters numbers are ~35% irrigation, ~45% thermoelectric power plant cooling, 12% residential, 5% industry, and then other usages.
I don't know how much datacenters changed this equation.
For the global statistics, not to be a US-centric the numbers are a different,
https://www.fao.org/aquastat/en/overview/methodology/water-use
still only 70% overall in the world, with huuuge discrepancy between countries.
~~You're not wrong, but~~ it's worth pointing out how most of that water is wasted before some genius chimes in to remind us that we eat food.
They're wrong though.
And yet no ass blaster nozzle 🤔🧐
Hey, did you know you can turn around? its like walking without going anywhere just rotating yourself.
Make sure you rotate around the vertical axis, and practice on soft ground before trying it in a wet hard surface like a shower.
Like some common peasant? Next you’ll expect me to lather AND repeat!
You have your servants do that obviously

It's good training for when you participate in a riot caused by a drinking water shortage.
