I made a shitty prototype with irrigation mister nozzle heads from alibaba or somewhere similar. I used 3 mm tubing and made some connectors from 3d print.
What I learned:
It’s a fun project
3D prints of connectors and tube adapters will be leaky if you are not a pro and knows what type of plastic to use. (I’m not experienced enough.) I would recommend finding proper standardised tube adapters and purchase them instead.
You save some water, however the temperature feels much colder, and therefore your guests might not like it if your water is not hot enough.
I enjoyed the gentle feeling of it, however it is very different from a regular shower head, where it feels like your skin is power washed clean. I used my hands more for cleaning my water misted skin. I had a feeling I got just as clean.
I vaguely remember something with some mistborne disease which there could be a higher risk of, using this kind of system, but I don’t remember.
I experimented with 1-5 nozzle heads, and the more you add the more it feels like a regular shower head, with the intensity the water hits the skin, aaand the more water you use… 3 was a minimum to me.
I did not use it long enough to experience it clogging.
I stopped using it because my fittings and tube adapters got too leaky to provide a proper pressure, and I didn’t have the patience to fix it. This post has made me want to get a go at it again :P

I was also inspired by that article
