Bathing in One Gallon of Water

This morning our water was turned off by the local water company. Evidently there was a problem at the pumping station and no one in the neighborhood had water pressure. So no one here in "Cuernavacaville" where we live took a proper shower. The place reeks! If you don't know where this is, you'll be able to smell it from wherever you are in Austin. The fumes are said to be visible from the UT campus.

Lucky for me, I had a gallon of "acid water" sitting in a jug in the sink attached to my Rejuvenizer Brand Aquarius Water Inonizer. http://www.richremedies.com/

The Ionizer produces Alkaline water(ph of 7++) out of one side of the unit and Acidic water (low pH 5 or less) out of the other side as shown in the photo above..
Acidic water is great for external applications like bathing. It's as good for your outsides as Ionized water is for your insides.

I took a spaghetti pot and poured the gallon of acid water in there and heated it on the stove to ~ 80 degrees. Hopped in the shower and started to carefully wet down "key areas" of my svelt torso.

My Dad (Ensign Joseph H. Tyson Jr, US Navy 1944) taught me years ago how to take a one minute "navy boat" shower. He served on a small escort ship during WW2 in the Pacific Ocean and taught me how sailors showered with a minimal amount of water for conservation purposes on his ship. This old navy lesson served me well on camping trips growing up and now as a homeowner with empty faucets and no water.
The key is to clean the "yick-yick" areas and stretch the gallon all the way through to the rinse cycle.
You'd be amazed how little water you really need if you just focus on the "yick-yick areas. Amazing!
This is your useless water conservation tip for the day.

PS- Who says the acid water that comes out of the Aquarius Ionizer is wasted? Not me. I treat insect bites with it, clean wounds, water flowers with it, rinse vegetables with it, and occasionally wash with it. See http://www.richremedies.com/ water ionizers
