Mist Showers: Sustainable Decadence?
Mist Showers: Sustainable Decadence?
The water and energy use of the mist shower is so low that the bathroom could be taken off-grid and off-pipe even in an urban context.
Sustainable decadence is an oxymoron
Heh, I actually wanted to built this when the article first came out, but the problem was that this requires higher water temperatures, which my solar-thermal water heater only reaches very rarely and are impossible to reach with normal hot water heat-pumps.
I don't like that, but I am a card-carrying member of the Cult of Baths. I want to be inundated, stewed, and marinated
this is my guilty pleasure as well
As long as the billionaire class can live without repercussions I'm very hesitant to judge someone on taking a bath instead of a shower. We use paper straws and shower instead of taking a bath and they enjoy private jets, pools and jacuzzis. Taking a bath is not only hygiene, imho it's also a break from our everyday grind.
Considering my electric shower is hell bent on boiling me unless I turn it to "cold", I feel reasonably confident I could build one of these! Oh boy new project! Time to convince my partner that it's not crazy...
Did you have any luck?
Very interesting read, thanks for sharing!
