Washington, D.C. – President Trump signed an executive order to reverse regulations on water appliances, including shower heads, that were implemented during the Biden administration.
The order aims to increase consumer choice by allowing the purchase of higher water flow appliances. The previous regulations were intended to conserve water but were criticized for reducing water pressure in showers and other appliances that many consumers already bypass by removing the low-flow water restrictor from inside showerheads.
Trump cited practical concerns, stating, “People buy a house, they turn on the sink, and water barely comes out. They take a shower, water barely comes out. It’s an unnecessary restriction.”
The move is part of Trump’s broader effort to roll back regulations on appliances like gas stoves and dishwashers.
The EPA notes low-flow showerheads save billions of gallons annually, but critics argue they compromise user satisfaction.
