    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.

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

        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.

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

          Until we knew how to hold it well we’d only enter the showers together and one would hold the child while the other one would wash it.

      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 wonder if it’s like a dish washer or clothes washer and just has a certain amount of water it uses per shower and it recycles that water back onto you the whole time

    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.

    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.
