<<Mark,
Do you really use only 33.3 gallons of water per week?

Assuming two people on board, that comes out to 2.4
gallons of water per person per day - for all uses!>>

Dear Kevin,
Yes.  But I drink a lot of beer.  The biggest
water-saving device aboard is the shower head.  We use
a kitchen dish sprayer, with the spring-loaded thumb
lever, on a 3' hose, for showers.  A good shower can
be had for 0.5 gal of water using this sprayer and a
little care.
