The U.S. government is easing regulations on shower fittings in the wake of complaints by President Donald Trump, who is regularly jailed’ for violating water conservation regulations in the search for "perfect hair".
On Wednesday, the Department of Energy
(DOE) proposed to amend the definition of the showerhead to allow multiple
showerheads in single fitting, President George H.W. W. Bush.
The 1992 regulations used a maximum of 2.5
gallons of water per minute for rainfall, but this amendment would apply to each
showerhead instead of a shower fitting.
The announcement came after Trump
complained about the lack of water pressure at the event.
"Showerheads - you take a bath, water
does not come out," announced at the White House in July, a rollback of
the rules.
"You have to wash your hands, no
water. So what do you do? Do you stand there or do’ you bathe too long? Because
my hair - I do not know about you, but it's right.
Bathroom fittings and water pressure have
long been a bug bear for the president.
He told reporters in December that the
environmental protection agency was "looking very closely at the sink and
other aspects of the shower and bathroom".
"They bathe the water drops. It
falls very calmly. People defecate 10 times at once, rather than once, they use
more water," Trump said.
"So the EPA is looking at my
suggestion very strongly."
Andrew Delaski, executive director of the
Energy Conservation Group Equipment Standards Awareness Project said the plan
was part of Trump's false complaint that toilets, faucets, and other housing had
been damaged’ by federal efficiency standards. "
"The DOE has proposed a rule to
approve new showerheads that waste huge amounts of water and energy, which will
increase utility bills and greenhouse gas emissions," he said in a blog
post. Said.
