If I take long showers would I save more water taking a bath?

May 28, 2020 by Karen Hill

Only you can test this one out, and find out if taking long showers would save you more water taking a bath.

Plug your tub while showering, and see how high the water level is when you’re done.

In general, a shower usually uses 10 to 15 gallons of water, while a bath usually takes about 15 to 25 gallons.

But conduct your own measuring experiments to get more personal results.
