I have 150 gallons and with 5 people (2 teen girls) we can go 3 nights
with about 30 gallons left in the hole. That's about 5 gallons per
shower + dishes and the occasional rinse after coming up from diving.
That does NOT include washing the boat. At home they use 10X that amount
for the same tasks.

Hi,

Far Cove is set up for a shower, but was never installed. I was looking
at "low-flow" showerheads, and they say they use 2.5gpm. Egad - for a
5-min shower that's over 10 gallons! Far Cove has 50gal of water, and I'm
thinking of addding another 20gal tank, but still: 10 gals per shower??

Is this realistic? What is a practical estimate of how much water an
on-board shower will take?
