    Trying to workout why a shower last 10 Minutes?

    I recall some research on that.

    The average man spends 10 minutes in the shower. 1 minute washing his body and 9 minutes washing his genital area.

    I may or may not have made that up.
    A man walked into a car showroom.
    He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    The man replied, “You have now mate".

    Use a bucket and fill it up with hot water. Isn't that cheapest?
    This is what much of the "developing" world does daily. It keeps them clean and is economical with water, which is idea if you are the one who has to lug it around from A to B. 
    No man is worth crawling on this earth.

    So much to read, so little time.

    SolarisKit a company not to far from here has developed a flat pack water heating kit designed for ease of instal in developing world location's, worth looking at.
    The way energy costs are going a more up engineered version might find a market here.
