I made a shitty prototype with irrigation mister nozzle heads from alibaba or somewhere similar. I used 3 mm tubing and made some connectors from 3d print.

What I learned:

  • It's a fun project
  • 3D prints of connectors and tube adapters will be leaky if you are not a pro and knows what type of plastic to use. (I'm not experienced enough.) I would recommend finding proper standardised tube adapters and purchase them instead.
  • You save some water, however the temperature feels much colder, and therefore your guests might not like it if your water is not hot enough.
  • I enjoyed the gentle feeling of it, however it is very different from a regular shower head, where it feels like your skin is power washed clean. I used my hands more for cleaning my water misted skin. I had a feeling I got just as clean.
  • I vaguely remember something with some mistborne disease which there could be a higher risk of, using this kind of system, but I don't remember.

I experimented with 1-5 nozzle heads, and the more you add the more it feels like a regular shower head, with the intensity the water hits the skin, aaand the more water you use... 3 was a minimum to me.

I did not use it long enough to experience it clogging. I stopped using it because my fittings and tube adapters got too leaky to provide a proper pressure, and I didn't have the patience to fix it. This post has made me want to get a go at it again :P

I was also inspired by that article

Cheers

Also add the word 'capitalism' in there. It's like I don't even get to finish saying the word before the people I'm talking to either zones out or start defending it with: "well there is no better alternative".

Have anybody seen it? Do you get introduced to masanobu fokuokas farming principles?

I'm considering making a screening for my fellow students at regenerative agriculture school

Cute! It's a caesar cypher!

She really helped you - she gave you the 'shift-key' I won't spoil it - check wiki for caesar cypher and get a pen and paper :) Let me know if you cannot solve it
