Trump Orders Toilet Rule Review, Saying People Flush 10 Times

The president on Friday said he ordered a federal review of water efficiency standards in bathroom fixtures and complained that “people are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times as opposed to once” in homes with low-flow appliances.
He said other bathroom fixtures have slowed water to a trickle.
“You can’t wash your hands practically, there’s so little water comes out of the faucet, and the end result is you leave the faucet on and it takes you much longer to wash your hands, you end up using the same amount of water,” Trump said at an event with small-business owners at the White House.
The president said it was “common sense” to review standards he said resulted in showers with water “quietly dripping out” and toilets that “end up using more water” because of repeat flushing.

I totally agree wit President Trump on this one. We have low flow adapters on everything as well as the new low water use toilets. I always flush two or three time. It take me way over 20 minutes to take a shower. It also takes much longer to wash dishes. I have never seen any advantage to these things except to look good to the water conversationalists. Bring me back my old shower head.
The guy across from me is a retired plumber. He went out and replaced the low flow with a regular shower head. We all end up looking like all the people who wash their heads in Seinfield Show.
