Taking a shower is considered more water-efficient than bathing. But just how much water does the former actually save over the latter?
Showers Win, No Question
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a full bathtub requires about 70 gallons of water. A 5-minute shower, on the other hand, only takes about 10 to 25 gallons. And even if some people argue that they never actually fill the tub to the brim, a bath still can’t measure up in terms of water usage. That’s why, if you want to keep your water usage down, taking a shower is your best bet.
The only downside to this is that you can’t linger under the shower. To effectively conserve more water, you’ll need to limit your shower to just 5 to 10 minutes. Those who live a fast and active lifestyle won’t see this as a problem, but the others who want to relax under a hot spray – well, not so much.

Luckily, there’s a simple and effective way to save more water without cutting back on your shower time. How about turning to Elite Bathrooms LuxStone of Long Island for a tub-to-shower conversion?
