Polybutylene terephthalate is used for housings in electrical engineering, but also in automotive construction as plug connectors and in households for example in showerheads or irons. It is also found processed into fibers in toothbrushes, false eyelashes and is used in the keycaps of some high end computer keyboards because the texture is highly resistant to wear and discoloration due to UV radiation. PBT can also be made into yarn. This has a natural stretch similar to Lycra and can be incorporated into sports wear.

Instead, the water is lost through evaporation or ground seepage. Optimal landscaping techniques and minimal landscaping are two major reasons why casinos are able conserve water. Properties have reduced indoor water use by installing low-flow showerheads, retrofitting toilets, educating employees about conservation techniques, and setting overall water-use goals. Approximately 3 to 4 percent of the total water is actually consumed by casinos.. In 2017, most of the major casino companies had a recycling rate of more than 40 percent, compared with the 20 percent recycling rate in Clark County.

Legionellosis or Legionnaire's Disease is caused by a waterborne bacterium Legionella that grows best in slow-moving or still, warm water. The primary route of exposure is through the creation of an aerosol effect, most commonly from evaporative cooling towers or showerheads. A common source of Legionella in commercial buildings is from poorly placed or maintained evaporative cooling towers, which often release water in an aerosol which may enter nearby ventilation intakes. Outbreaks in medical facilities and nursing homes, where patients are immuno-suppressed and immuno-weak, are the most commonly reported cases of Legionellosis.

In November 2009, the Eco-Design Directive EuP was replaced with the new energy-related products directive (ErP) 2009/125/EC. The old directive for energy using products only covered products that used energy, such as washing machines or computers. The new ErP-Directive covers products under the old EuP Directive as well as products that are energy- related and do not directly use energy such as water-saving taps and showerheads. With this directive, the European Union regulator laid the groundwork for specific implementing measures affecting a broad range of EuP and ErP.

The average American shower uses 17.2 gallons (65.1 liters) and lasts for 8.2 minutes at average flow rate of 2.1 gallons per minute (gpm) (7.9 lpm). Showering is one of the leading ways people use water in the home, accounting for nearly 17 percent of residential indoor water use, roughly equals to 1.2 trillion gallons of water annually just for showering. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommend to retrofit home showers with a shower head that uses less than 2.0 gallons per minute to conserve water. However, many have hypothesized reducing flow rates of showerheads might cause users to take much longer showers.

The reason for this is due to the ability of A. candidus to reside in a wide range of environments, from showerheads to storage tanks and potted plants. The fungus can be observed microscopically in infected tissued mounted in potassium or sodium hydroxide solution containing the fluorescent brightener, calcofluor white, or in fungal-specific tissue stains such as Gomori methenamine silver (GMS) stain. Aspergillus candidus secretes cytotoxic metabolites like terphenyl compounds and terprenins, as well as citrinin and immunotoxic (1→3)-β-D-glucans. In addition to humans, there have also been reports of A. candidus disease in pigs and birds.

Niagara Conservation manufactures water-reducing, green products including toilets, aerators, and showerheads. In 2009, the company released the Stealth toilet, which used a new technology combining air and water to flush liquids and solids with only 0.8 gallons of water. Niagara's Stealth is currently the only single flush 0.8 gallons per flush (GPF) toilet in the world. The Stealth's ultra-high-efficiency low-flow toilet uses newly engineered technology where an air transfer system pressurizes the bowl's trap-way to flush quietly with limited water usage. All Stealth toilets are certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s WaterSense program.

Seven Springs Mountain Resort has worked over recent years with the Natural Resources Defense Council to improve its environmental stewardship in all resort operations and facilities. Among its greening initiatives, the resort installed energy-efficient light fixtures and bulbs, provided recycling locations throughout the property, developed a rain garden in a large wash-out area and converted to low-flow showerheads. Most notably, the resort eliminated the use of diesel compressors involved in their snowmaking procedures by replacing them with electric compressors. This swap prevented the consumption of more than 100,000 gallons of diesel fuel that was previously used over the course of a ski season.

This building count includes preschools and day care, elementary and middle schools, high schools, and colleges and universities. Given the total floor space of these educational facilities and assuming average use (WUI) of 68 g/ksf/d, as representing average use in the U.S., the total use in schools would be about 830 mgd or close to 7 percent of the total CII use. Because most water is used in restrooms and locker rooms, installing WaterSense labeled showerheads, toilets, bathroom faucets, and flushing urinals and also periodically checking automatic sensors on these fixtures would help ensure they are operating properly and thus eliminate unnecessary water use.

Inquisition has been accused of being a Nazi/white supremacist band or at least having racist band members. Band frontman Jason "Dagon" Weirbach has an electronic/noise side project called 88MM. The project is named after the 8.8 cm Flak 18/36/37/41 artillery weapon employed by Nazi Germany during Spanish Civil War and World War II. 88 is also frequently used by neo-Nazis as a numerical code for "HH," with H represented as the eight letter in the English alphabet, standing for "Heil Hitler." 88MM was included on the compilation called "Declaration of Anti-Semetic [sic] Terror" with the track "14 Showerheads, 1 Gas Tight Door".

The chambers were white inside, and nozzles were fixed to the ceiling to resemble showerheads. The daily capacity of the crematoria (how many bodies could be burned in a 24-hour period) was 340 corpses in crematorium I; 1,440 each in crematoria II and III; and 768 each in IV and V. By June 1943 all four crematoria were operational, but crematorium I was not used after July 1943. This made the total daily capacity 4,416, although by loading three to five corpses at a time, the Sonderkommando were able to burn some 8,000 bodies a day. This maximum capacity was rarely needed; the average between 1942 and 1944 was 1,000 bodies burned every day.
