This sounds like a Babylon Bee or The Onion article but isn’t. The BBC is reporting that after complaints from President Trump about a lack of flow from regulation shower heads that they are trying to change.<\/p>\n

In 1992, we ushered in the “low flow” era. Things\u00a0have\u00a0<\/em>improved in quality, but I think we can all remember the first time we used a “new” shower head and were left with a soapy mess in our hair. Then there was that decade or so of toilets that couldn’t really flush a proper deuce. The regulation from ’92 limits fixtures to 2.5 gallons per minute for the whole fixture. The Trump administration wants this to be relaxed and apply to each jet, not the total.<\/p>\n

Personally, I just remove the restrictor in every new fixture I install. I’m sure most people do. I know at least two plumbers that do it on every job as well. They say if they don’t, they get called back immediately because, “It isn’t working.” So this would seem to be another pointless regulation.<\/p>\n

This segment from the article sounds so like satire I had to double check to see if it was real;<\/p>\n

Andrew deLaski, executive director of the energy conservation group Appliance Standards Awareness Project, said the proposal was “silly”.<\/p>\n

With four or five or more nozzles, “you could have 10, 15 gallons per minute powering out of the showerhead, literally probably washing you out of the bathroom,” he told the Associated Press news agency.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jerry and Kramer are likely thrilled to hear about this change. No more buying black market shower heads out of a van in an alley.<\/p>\n
