I live on Cape Cod fairly near the ocean. A common sight on many Cape Cod homes is an outdoor shower generally on the side or back of the dwelling.
It is a good idea to use the outdoor shower if you have one when the weather is warm enough compared with using the shower in your bathroom. The outdoor shower water doesn't enter your septic or sewer system. Also, outdoor showers don't require bathroom lights or exhaust fans.
Outdoor showers reduce the amount of sand tracked through your home if you have just returned from the beach.
For these reasons you use less energy with an outdoor shower. Plus sometimes if the sun is shining while you are taking your outdoor shower it appears like you are taking a shower in a rainbow as the sunlight hits the shower water and refracts this light in to many colors.
