Holy cow. I'll bet my entire house rarely exceeds that.

A friend installed something similar to this in his house. It's called the "party shower", for obvious reasons. BUT - when all the pumps are a-pumpin', this thing pushes about 20 gallons of water per minute.
He had to put a 200 gallon reserve tank in his basement. After all that, I don't think it gets used much, beyond the basic shower stuff.

Do NOT want. I'd take it with jets on 3 sides, I guess.... but I don't want to be completely surrounded

I'd like to try it but don't want the hot water bill. I'd need a giant hot water heater to go with it.

I feel like I would use less water this way. On for five seconds, then soap up, then on for fifteen seconds rinse. Done in less than a minute.

Then on for one more second to wash the last hair bit down the drain. What, it's head hair. Mostly.

I like to luxuriate in the hot water a little after I'm done washing ...unless I really need to dash out. This is too much

I'm with you, monster, time to wake up, warm up and loosen up. Used to shit, shower, and shave, in ten minutes. When I gave up shaving I allocated that time to the shower.

With that kind of water pressure, you could practically shit in the shower and it would power wash right down the drain.

The twin jets overhead look like you could power wash the deck, but the horizontal heads don't look that strong. They are tossing streams toward the middle but not that fast from the way they're arcing. With water coming from every direction you couldn't even get soap on you, no less wash. So you'd have to step out or shut down to lather up, like UT said.

Now that's just crazy talk, what keeps my back warm when I'm washing the front? That might work for you skinny fuckers, but I've got acreage to groom. http://cellar.org/2012/nono.gif

Good luck trying to make out with your lover in that shower; or, even trying to pick up something you've dropped for that matter.

Many moons ago while resident in early-perestroika Russia I had a couple of "sharko shower" treatments. I thought it was brilliant. Brutal but brilliant. I considered franchising it in the west (that should be in the business ideas thread, but I'm sure y'all can just imagine it's there).

So these would be used for hydro-therapy exclusively, separate from a shower for cleaning? The pictures make it appear to be much greater than the stated 3 feet from the nozzles to the subject. It sounds from the description of varying the pressure and temperature of the water, you'd need a trained operator, or a pretty astute robot, to handle that.
Malwarebytes won't let be get to the third link.
