Government regulations rarely work. Just as with the low flow, we use the same amount of water by staying in the shower longer.

They worked in Arizona....where water is increasingly a scarce resource.

I take two showers a day. I would not be happy out there in California.
I take it you don't live in a drought area. If that's the case. You would have no reason for low flow showers and toilets.

Trump to lift water curbs to 'make America's showers great again'

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump, after complaining about it for years, signed an order to lift restrictions on water pressure in showers on Wednesday, saying he wanted to "take care of my beautiful hair."

The order lifts water restrictions on basically any appliance that uses water, such as toilets and dishwashers.

If he's not getting enough water pressure at the shower head, it's a problem with the building, not the shower head.

But I do love seeing "conservatives" arguing for being wasteful.

Trump has had a wierd axe to grind with low flow toilets and shower heads for some time. I don't think he knows much about what he's talking about, other than he's got a thing for driving anti-environmental policies in general. Maybe trying to start a new culture war (remember the whole anti-woke campaign about gas stoves?)

I bought a simple 1.5gpm low-flow shower head at Ace a half a year ago. It's even made in the USA. It works fine, with minimal dripping. Better than the plastic garbage that came with our apartment.

I remember The Leader going on and on about how many flushes it took. I have never had a problem. Perhaps if the President cut back on the McDonald's a little, once would be enough. But then, I don't know the flow pattern of solid gold toilets so there's that. Perhaps some of his supporters with solid gold toilets here can chime in and shine some light on the issue.
