Average water use per shower?
Just wondering if anyone else had measured their shower water use. Our average is 6 gallons.

- A cold navy shower....one gallon for me. Wait for warm.....maybe closer to two gallons. I calibrated our visible fresh water tank so it is super easy to measure water consumption and also how much is left.
- If you only use cold water, I can git-r-dun in like , 3 minutes!
- Last year it was 4 gals but due to a weight gain , its now 5 gals. :)
- Ours is also about 2 qts before it's hot. That water goes in the berkey filter. Our showers use 2 to 3 gallons.
- No, but I do "measure" the amount of water that comes out before the water is hot enough for a shower..........
When water and sewer isn't available, I hold a 2 qt pitcher under the shower faucet and then use the water for cooking. It just about fills the pitcher with the 2 qts before things get hot.
That's one way to reduce your shower water.
