Re: Navy Showers

This is my first Powerpoint presentation. I have an older version of Powerpoint and it certainly isn't user friendly. Please be easy on me with the comments for that reason. Also, Albert10110 suggested getting wet then turning off the shower. But he way he demonstrated the procedure gave me the chills. That is a very uncomfortable way to shower. Hence, not many people will do it. With a flow controllable shower head, the water can be adjusted, the person can get wet, and then the flow lever can be used to switch the water off; and once the lathering is done, the water can be turned right back on to rinse off without the necessity of adjusting the temperature again. This is the method I use and have been doing so for years. The video "comment" to "Navy Showers" shows a suggested shower setup used in order to take advantage of recent water saving technology. Hopefully my poor excuse of a video will at least help someone.

What would outhouses and septic tanks have to do with it?

[rhetoricalmonkey]

The major costs involved in water coming into the house thru the water-meter is "waste disposal" or "waste treatment" fees. Sometimes the charges are many times the cost of the actual water. In other words, you pay more for treating the water running down the drain than you do for the actual water coming into the house. A person with an outhouse or a septic can't be charged disposal/treatment fees because the water running through the meter isn't being treated/disposed-of by the utility company.

Gotcha. Thanks.
