Climate experts expressed shock and dismay at the move. “It would be a bit like unplugging the equipment that monitors the vital signs of a patient that is critically ill,” one said.

      There’s something very American about prioritizing shower comfort over preventing the destruction of the planet.

        Isn’t residential water usage around 10% of the total water usage? I don’t think shower heads make much difference.

          I love them, I love long showers and with one of those shower heads the hot water tank never runs out.

        The restricted flow shower heads make it so that it takes a lot longer to rinse your hair. It probably works out to a wash whether that is better for the environment versus having slightly higher water flow.

      sounds like you bought the wrong shower head or just need to twist it to a different flow pattern

      You can pop out the water restrictor in the shower head pretty easily. It took me like five minutes with nothing but a screw driver. My water pressure was so bad that I thought the house had a problem. It was the water restrictor.
