I loves my "showerhead on a hose" doohickey...and yes, I've removed the flow restrictors and drilled it out so that I get a decent water flow. We have shitty water pressure here, so I have to depend on volume, not pressure to get a good shower.
Yes.
LOL yeah seriously, even 1940's Auschwitz had better showerheads then that..
from an ecological standpoint, does a low-pressure shower head even do anything?
I mean, doesn't the water just go down the drain, get treated, and go back into the enviornment?
when I did my research for a high glow shower head, a lot of people reccomendated products from this site: takeashower.com, I eventually moved, so didn't need to order one anymore.
what about it?
it's tape! It's teflon. It is both tape and it is teflon at the same time!
Holy crap...Motel 6 shower head!

I'm serious lol, my showerhead's instructions said it came with teflon tape and to wrap it around the pipe before installing, but those bastards didn't include any tape so I went on without it.

Polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE tape (teflon tape), is use as a lubricant and sealant on pipe threads.
Maybe it was made by Scotch and you just couldn't see it.
I don't get the appeal of rain showers... my parents have one; I always feel like I'm drowning when I'm in their shower.

I'm using one of those now, works great IMO, the shower head that was in place when I got my house would drain the 40gl HW heater in like 5 min. the el-cheapo gets good velocity and has an on/off valve, all I really need in a shower head.
Maximum flow for 1/2" copper water service line at 85 PSI (maximum residential service) at the absolute best is just under 6 gallons a minute (but in reality it is unlikely that you get that kind of flow due to restrictions and bends, and perhaps it is service with PEX that have 5 gallon/min max at pressure with no other restriction and short length of tubing).I'm using one of those now, works great IMO, the shower head that was in place when I got my house would drain the 40gl HW heater in like 5 min. the el-cheapo gets good velocity and has an on/off valve, all I really need in a shower head.

That said, hot water tank is normally at default 140F, and street water temperature at let say 39F (normally are 43-45F).
Mixed water at 89.5F for shower would be 1:1 hot:cold water, therefore 40 gal tank would take at the very least (40 * 2/6) = 13.33 minutes for you to empty the tank even if you turn of the fuel/electric so that HW tank have zero recovery rate.
In reality I would suspect it would be (40 * 2/4) = 20 +/-3 minutes to drain your HW tank.
Yea that's the same model that I had. I think it mentioned something about being used in the navy. That thing was awesome for showers. it stung so you knew it was washing off the soap!
In the summer I take "Navy" showers, wet up, shut off valve, rinse off, saving a lot of water and hot water $$ that way..
