Or you a soaker or a shaker?
« on: November 23, 2011, 12:50:02 PM »
The bath or shower debate that is  lol:

I love a bath - it would be my preference every time . I appreciate showers have their usefulness i.e time saving , and what I had also thought more cost effective. However ..............

Power showers use twice as much energy and water as baths, despite the commonly-held perception that showers are better for the environment, new research has found.

The average power shower costs families about £918 a year in water and electricity, according to a study by Unilever UK. This is nearly twice as much energy and water as a bath uses. The cost of running a power shower is also more than double the cost of a normal shower, which sets a family back an average of £416 a year in water and electricity, the research found.

Shower...

It takes forever to fill our bath - even with the pressurised water system...

The report sounds like more eco-bollocks tho....  ::)

The 'power shower' to which the OP refers muse mean an 'instantaneous' shower which heats cold water using lecky...

Therefore, it will depend on how long you stay in the thing...

... and my Mum used to bath in about a teaspoon of water (she didn't like the shower) whereas I like the full-monty if I ever have one...

All pointless tax-funded bollox

next!

Shower for me and as the mains pressure is good, I don't need a power shower as it's plenty powerful as it is.

Mostly the shower, sometimes though I enjoy having a long, hot soak in the bath, with book.
