  • Water regulations are all over the place when it comes to the different states. Sometime in the 90s ( I think it was then ) new regulations were put in place to reduce the maximum allowable water usage per flush of a toilet and the maximum allowed flow of gallons per minute for all plumbing fixtures.

    They were put in place to reduce water waste but many people Trumps age disagree with the regulations due to the effect - like he mentioned - of most showers being limited to x gpm and the perceived change in the resultant shower quality.

    Like most regulations manufacturers just make stuff that passes the most stringent requirments and sell them everywhere, so even if your state doesn’t require a 1.5gpm shower head you might only be able to buy 1.5gpm shower heads.

    I think this is what he’s trying to change anyway.





  • I upvoted the post. I just meant to express my absolute lack of surprise at the situation or the news.

    Yes, it’s news and yes it should get attention, and lots of it! It’s just not at all surprising that mega corporations want to protect the status quo that got them to where they are, whether we like it or not. Nor is it surprising that they will absolutely do everything they can to make us believe what they want us to believe. A few years ago that might have sounded super ‘tin-foil-hatty’ and this story might have been bigger news, but I’m not sure that’s the case anymore.
