September 2, 201213 yr Surely to keep the weight down the shower water is re used!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would you want to shower using the same water as the 12 people before you? I wouldn't, unless the water has been properly filtered and treated, and the equipment for doing that isn't exactly light. John-Alan Pascoe

It would be interesting to find out whether the water is only used once, vented into the atmosphere, stored until landing. or re circulated and then disposed of after landing.
