    Normally a bath... but it depends on the size of your bath and length of your shower.

    According to my latest water bill, a bath in a tub, uses substantially more water than a shower. a shower cleans the body much better than a tub bath. wonder how much it costs to fill a swimming pool?

    I have showered and held the water in the tub to see and depending on the length of the shower, it tends to use less water than a bath.

    Depends if you are taking a power shower or a normal shower. Normal uses less. Power showers using the same amount as full bath of water in the first five minutes of being on.

    I wondered that also. Plugged the bathtub while taking a shower to see. It was almost the same for me.
    Guess it depends on how long you stay in the shower.

    I think generlly a bath uses more water. I have a flow control on my shower head so the water is off while I actually bathe, so my showers use very little water.

    A shower uses less water than a bath unless it is a power shower, in which case it uses the same amount of water as a bath in the first five minutes.

    It takes less water to take a shower than a bath because when you are taking a bath you feel the tub all the way to the top but when you are taking a shower you use only a little water.

    I believe it takes more to shower becouse as you shower the water is just running down the drain,but a bath is not only more cleaning becouse you lye their and soak off all the yeky stuff,and if your worried about sitting in all that and think its cleaner to take a shower rince of with shower head for a half minute,sparkling clean and less water,Thank you ....Thank ou very much.:)

    The obvious answer here is that it depends on how long of a shower you take. You can easily find the answer to this question by leaving the plug in your tub in when you take a shower, and see how high the water ends up getting. In my case, I tend to take long showers and so a shower takes more water than when I take a bath.
