Moisturize me moisturize me!

“It’s a MAAAAD-HOUSE!”
I feel my water pressure won’t be high enough
Won’t anyone think of the poor datacenters?

One rain head and a wand is fine for me. As long as the rain head is wide enough to get all of me while I sit on the shower floor letting it run over me while I contemplate my life for 10 minutes. The wand to actually do a good job of soap removal.
I had one of the nice showers with rain head and two wall jets and a wand. The jets never turned off just wasted pressure that could have gone elsewhere.
I am glad the people who bought my townhouse didn’t get an inspection because they would have found out that one of the knobs just spun and the other knob wasn’t fastened so came loose. The previous people we bought it from did a shoddy remodel that we didn’t get an inspection for so we just passed it on. It was our first home so we learned to pay for the inspection with our next place.
I just want a wand with a nice balance between pressure and area. My current one is great, it has a setting somewhere between massage head and regular. It’s nice and penetrates my hair quickly. That said my other priority is that the head is sufficiently high up. I’m just tall enough I often have to bend over, use the wand part, or sit/kneel to wash my hair, and I hate that. Tall people deserve showers too
LOL I got lucky with the sale of my home too. The new owners passed on the home inspection, so thankfully they didn’t notice my DIY hacks, like fixing the door trim with wood filler after I got locked out one day and had to kick the door down to get in; they also somehow didn’t notice the cracked tile in the middle of the living room. FWIW there were spare tiles leftover to swap it out, all the appliances were less than 5 years old, and there were no major structural issues with the home so they still got a decent deal.
But anyway I use a wand on a hose as well but I still want a shower like this. 'Cause I swear that no matter much I rinse my back off, I still miss some soap and end up with an itchy back after my shower. I kinda regret installing a whole-home filtration system since it makes rinsing the all the soap off take so much longer! I’m seriously considering not installing one when I buy my new home in the next few months (and I’m taking my sweet time cause it’s a buyer’s market at the moment).
Still less water used thsn a small farm lol.
I think something like 97% of our fresh water supply goes into agriculture.
In the US it’s definetely not true.

https://www.epa.gov/watersense/how-we-use-water
Pre-datacenters numbers are ~35% irrigation, ~45% thermoelectric power plant cooling, 12% residential, 5% industry, and then other usages.
I don’t know how much datacenters changed this equation.For the global statistics, not to be a US-centric the numbers are a different, https://www.fao.org/aquastat/en/overview/methodology/water-use
still only 70% overall in the world, with huuuge discrepancy between countries.
You’re not wrong, but it’s worth pointing out how most of that water is wasted before some genius chimes in to remind us that we eat food.
They’re wrong though.

I’ve never found these more appealing than a good single adjustable angle wall mounted spout with decent pressure. For the life of me I don’t know why anyone would want a single ceiling mounted “rain” head. I think those are the worst.
Yes like being drowned. And I don’t want to get my hair wet every time I shower! Stayed w my brother, he had an overhead shower like that and I thought my hair would mildew, it was always wet.
Ugh yeah trendy hotels are into these rain water things and it’s just annoying. I’d be more into this pressure washer though.
It’s good training for when you participate in a riot caused by a drinking water shortage.
I’m pretty sure these recirculate water when they’re operated like this. Otherwise it’s like a normal shower head.
I’d die, I feel over stimulated just taking a normal shower, I think I could handle a multi headed shower for like 30 seconds.
-blink-
This does not solve a problem for me.
Here I am taking sailor showers with a hand wand; wet down, turn water off and soap up, rinse off. I might use 10L of water taking a shower. I have to haul my water in (cistern) and I can’t be arsed to do that more than once a year so I use it sparingly.
Maybe one day I’ll get a well drilled and then I’ll just leave it running 24/7.
