question doesn't totally make sense if the bath is 80 liters and the shower is 30 liters the shower is saving 50 liters if the bath is 150 liters and the shower is 45 liters the shower is saving 105 liters But if we take the higher bound for the bath and lower bound for the shower we have a maximum saving of 150-30 is 120 litres. While taking the lower bound for the bath and higher bound for the shower the minimum saving is 80-45 is 35 litres. So the saving is anywhere between 35 and 120 litres. However it should be noted that the assumed water usage figures for baths and showers are not realistic so this does not represent the savings in real life although having a large variation is realistic, as some people take a shallow hip bath while others take long showers.
Minutes! Seconds as well if you like. {Not long ago my water supplier sent me advice etc on water-saving, including a shower-timer that is simply an egg-timer on a suction-cup so you can stick it to the shower wall! It runs for 4 minutes I think, which is certainly adequate even if you wash your hair as well.}
The average shower rod will vary from 44" (112 cm) to 72" (182 cm). There are various styles of shower rods, however, that curve or bend and are adjustable. Ones that curve will have other dimensions than a standard "straight" shower rod.
Standard shower is taken to be 10 gallons at 8.35 pounds per gallon and 60 degrees F of heating = 5,000 BTU per shower in round numbers, assuming 100% efficiency water heating.
When they say "One and a half bathroom" it means that there's one full bathroom, with a shower and toilet, and sinks. The half just means that there's no shower.
