Weight of Shower Water

With the introduction of the 1st Class showers on the AB380, anybody got an idea of how much water the a/c will carry ? What will be the overall weight of said water? Approximately how showers will it provide to pax at an estimated 5 mins duration each ?

It will be interesting to note if the weight of the water will equal the amount of paper,e.g.magazines etc that EK said that they were removing from each of the seat pockets to save weight and thus fuel......

If our privileged few 1st Class pax decide not to take showers on the AB 380, on say a DXB - JFK sector and stay 'grubby' like the rest of us, what sort of fuel will the aircraft consume to carry the 'dead-weight' of the water?
