The first week of my experiment was my control week. I timed
my usual shower routine, recording the length and water consumption of each
shower. I have to admit my water consumption was a lot higher than I had
expected. I have an old shower head and it uses 19.5 litres of water per minute
and with my average shower length just over 6 minutes, I averaged around 120 litres
per shower. That’s almost 1000 litres of water per week! As you can see from
the data my shower length varies from day to day reflecting my weekly routine.
I usually shave in the shower once a week which explains the extra length, it
also not uncommon for me to have quick showers as I am often running late. I am
getting nervous as I’m not sure if I will be able to complete the challenge. I
have worked out that my target time is 3 minutes that is not a very long amount
of time, my showers are already fairly efficient. I have a feeling I may result
to taking alternative measures to meet my hygiene goals, we will have to wait
and see, stay tuned for next week’s update.
