WASHINGTON The Trump Administration wants to change the definition of a showerhead to let more water flow, addressing a pet peeve of the president who complains he isn't getting wet enough.
Since 1992, federal law has dictated that new showerheads shouldnt pour more than 2.5 gallons of water per minute (9.5 liters).
As newer shower fixtures came out with multiple nozzles, the Obama administration defined the showerhead restrictions to apply to what comes out in total.
The new proposal Wednesday would allow each nozzle to spray as much as 2.5 gallons, not just the overall showerhead.
Appliance and plumbing energy and water conservation standards save consumers about $500 a year on energy bills, deLaski said.
