Hi,<br>
Ken did a homemade recirc shower that appears to work pretty well
and is not too complex or expensive.<br>

The recirculation approach seems like about as energy efficient as
you can get for very long showers.<br>
<br>
For whatever its worth, these are the thoughts I wrote down about a
year back on recirc showers:<br>

Don't know if this one has been mentioned already:<br>

<div>Hi all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any one know of a green(er) way to take 20-30 minute
showers? <br>
</div>
<br>
It's not for me btw, so I'm not looking for suggestions
like navy showers please.<br>
<br>
Here's what I'm thinking:<br>
<br>
- A tub plug that can be foot operated.<br>
<br>
- Plug is connected to a water recirculating device<br>
<br>
- When not stepped on, the water will recirculate<br>
<br>
- Press the plug to drain the water, person can step on
the plug when they don't want to the water to recirculate.<br>
<br>
- Recirculating water is reheated to desired temperature.<br>
