Incorporating a steam bath into one's daily shower routine can significantly reduce the amount of water washed down the drain. In fact, an average regular shower uses approximately two-and-a-half gallons of water per minute, while a 20-minute Steamist steam bath uses less than half a gallon. This means that a one-minute shower uses five times more water than a 20-minute steam bath. In addition, steam baths are also conservative on energy and easy on electric bills, with a 20-minute steam bath costing an average of 25 cents.
