30 gallons per minute flow rate, house plumbing has to be upgraded to an 1 ½" mainline to support it lmfao
Pioneers are not daunted by mere tech specs
Of course. For nothing is impossible if you have enough money to throw at the problem.
Honey, we can’t run the washing machine or wash our hands for a new minutes. The Jones’ are showering again.
And immediately illegal in the state of California lol
Need a huge tank in the attic, I’m sure the structure can support tons of extra weight!

I would 1000% use a human car wash. I hate showering. Just like a tube you stand in with soft brushes that lathers you and scrubs you down.
Idk I’m not letting anything robotic or spinning near my junk. I’m good with washing that by hand.
Like that morning conveyor belt in The Jetsons!
A human wash
When I have a baby and it poops itself, it will be placed in the pressure wash room for sanitisation
In our house that’s the dishwasher.
Not the washing machine?
Nah, you only try that once - too many bruises.
Not to mention smashed plates.
Honestly, at least for us just taking the baby with us into the shower was much easier and more relaxing than bathing it.
I would be so afraid of dropping the soapy baby
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.
Sure, but how many showers are you talking a day?
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
Imagine being short and getting waterboarded every time you wanna shower. Good times
that explains why my kids won’t shower! thank you!
Water bill go brrrrrrrrt
laughs in water-included-in-rent
Laughs as rent goes up to compensate for water usage
chuckles in rent control
cries in landlord won’t put a new shower in if the old one is fine
For those who want a bathing experience that feels like a decontamination after an industrial accident.
Only if the bottom is a turntable so I can spin.
Enjoy getting sprayed in the face
I always do
You must be related to my girlfriend
Lots of water/energy wastage, if they do not have an efficient water recycling system tho
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
Dirty bathwater showers are the future!
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.
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.
At some point the amount of water may exceed what is delivered to your home.
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
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 👍
Indeed.
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.
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).
Ooooh I’d love to see a diagram of the plumbing… maybe two, idea and actual haha
Human pressure washing chamber. I bet that shower head starts spinning too haha
RIP lather
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.
“right where you need it”
