I modded my shower to be a dual shower for me and my partner to shower together and when you’re alone its kind of like this. Its not too bad but honestly it’s not too different either, you’re wet wither way but I suppose I could see some people preferring this
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.
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.
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.
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.
They are very strong. I have very thick hair, and it was like getting a scalp massage. Probably a bit too much for our bald brothers but i loved it since my dome never gets brushed
I mean you could get a pump to boost the flow, and a big tankless water heater right? Put the pump at the main water supply valve and run a dedicated line to the shower.
You need a separate heater that heats the water as it’s used and the plumbing would be 3/4 all around, the main has more than enough pressure for that.
I love all these responses on the plumbing lol. Yeah if you want this thing at home your wouldn’t really need to upgrade all your pipes. I’m a sparky not a plumber but a separate water heater and water pump along with probably a 240V line to run em and you’d be good.
I would actually love to watch a plumber run the pipes for this shower setup. I wonder how they’re different from the shower installs I’ve seen while roping houses
Water typically comes in at around 15 degree Celsius, so it needs to be heated by around 25 degrees to feel warm.
A regular high flow shower head flows up to 20 liters per minute (that’s 5.3 gpm in American). That’s 500 kcal/min of energy that needs to be added, which is 35 kW, or a total of almost 150A at 240V.
You would use a gas water heater for that since they heat the water much quicker…
I used to live in a 200 units building with a central heater for all the hot water and we never ran out and the water was hot as fuck, just need to use the appropriate material for the job 👍
I guess you could also use an oversized heat pump in theory. With a setup like this, recirculation and/or wastewater heat recuperation would also need to be looked into. Either would significantly reduce the cost of running this.
But purely resistive heating without any form of recuperation would need impractical amounts of power.
