This is my shower. It has 12 heads and consumes ten thousand gallons of deionized water per minute. It costs four hundred thousand dollars to use this shower... for twelve seconds.

Oh my God who touched Sasha. WHO TOUCHED MY SHOWER!

[-] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

Real talk tho, this probably has only about 5 minutes of hot water before your hot water tank is empty

[-] Fraylor@lemm.ee 12 points 9 months ago

Tankless water heater baby. But lemme tell ya what it would BLOW to take a shower in that without power. A cold shower is rough enough without 11 extra heads blasting you.

30 gallons per minute flow rate, house plumbing has to be upgraded to an 1 ½" mainline to support it lmfao

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 23 points 9 months ago

Pioneers are not daunted by mere tech specs

[-] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 10 points 9 months ago

Of course. For nothing is impossible if you have enough money to throw at the problem.

[-] Neato@kbin.social 10 points 9 months ago

Honey, we can't run the washing machine or wash our hands for a new minutes. The Jones' are showering again.

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

And immediately illegal in the state of California lol

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

Need a huge tank in the attic, I'm sure the structure can support tons of extra weight!

[-] comrade19@lemmy.world 38 points 9 months ago

When I have a baby and it poops itself, it will be placed in the pressure wash room for sanitisation

[-] fulcrummed@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

In our house that’s the dishwasher.

Nah, you only try that once - too many bruises.

[-] rmuk@feddit.uk 4 points 9 months ago

Not to mention smashed plates.

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 8 points 9 months ago

Honestly, at least for us just taking the baby with us into the shower was much easier and more relaxing than bathing it.

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 13 points 9 months ago

I would be so afraid of dropping the soapy baby

Sure, but how many showers are you talking a day?

[-] bigkahuna1986@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

My daughter loved it when we held her with her scalp just under the shower. She would keep pushing backwards in my arms until I got it just right

[-] PatFussy@lemm.ee 35 points 9 months ago

Imagine being short and getting waterboarded every time you wanna shower. Good times

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

that explains why my kids won't shower! thank you!

laughs in water-included-in-rent

[-] solidsnake2085@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Laughs as rent goes up to compensate for water usage

For those who want a bathing experience that feels like a decontamination after an industrial accident.

[-] BlinkerFluid@lemmy.one 24 points 9 months ago

Only if the bottom is a turntable so I can spin.

[-] nodsocket@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago

Enjoy getting sprayed in the face

[-] Achyu@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 9 months ago

Lots of water/energy wastage, if they do not have an efficient water recycling system tho

[-] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 13 points 9 months ago

I wonder though, if this could get you clean in 30-60 seconds how much water usage would it be compared to a regular shower. Bonus efficiency if it can spray soap instead of applying it manually.

I've got to try one of these for my anniversary. They have them at some fancy spas. I think i got to be in there like 5 minutes, which doesn't seem like much but holy shit is the water pressure unreal, and everywhere all at once. It's very stimulating and it'd be awesome to have one at home but no one's home plumbing and hot water tank is up to the task.

[-] Neato@kbin.social 5 points 9 months ago

Yeah. You'd need some type of system that held and heated water separately and then pressurized it so more. It would only last as long as the tank did.

Also the top front spouts seem a little intense. I've not seen blades of water before.

For the person who always complains that there isn't enough pressure or coverage in their shower.......

too tall, cleanest torso ever. too short, we hardly knew thee, sorry about the water boarding (as mentioned earlier by @PatFussy).

[-] Dustwin@lemmy.ca 9 points 9 months ago

Ooooh I'd love to see a diagram of the plumbing.... maybe two, idea and actual haha

[-] JiraiyaIsNoLyah@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Human pressure washing chamber. I bet that shower head starts spinning too haha

[-] beef_curds@hexbear.net 8 points 9 months ago

Seems annoying if you're trying not to get your hair wet. Or imagine if you had to use a shower chair lmao.

The superior shower configuration is just the humble detachable handheld showerhead. Put the water right where you need it.

I tried a shower once with those jets coming from the sides. Tickled like crazy and I had to turn them off.
