Trump has long griped about how difficult it is to wash his “beautiful hair” due to new regulations that restrict the water flow of showerheads.
Trump ordered the loosening of showerhead limits during his first term in office, a move that Biden later undid.
The water will be allowed to flow again by Trump.
He issued an executive order on Wednesday that mandates the immediate repeal of water conservation regulations. These requirements limit the amount of water that may flow through various equipment, including showerheads, dishwashers, washing machines, and toilets.
As he signed an executive order at the White House on Wednesday, Trump added, “I like to take a nice shower, take care of my beautiful hair.” In order to get it moist, I need to stand under the shower for fifteen minutes. It leaks out slowly. “It’s hilarious.”
“Actually, it’s the same water because you wind up washing your hands five times longer,” he explained. “And we’re going to let people live in it.”
Trump criticized the “overly complicated federal rule” that redefined the phrase “showerhead” under the previous two Democratic presidents, and has now ordered Energy Secretary Chris Wright to revoke the rule immediately.
Biden and Obama both limited the water pressure that showerheads and other appliances may release. Appliances including dishwashers, showerheads, fridges, dryers, and toilets were meant to use less water and energy as a result of the requirements.
Regulations, however, “transformed a fundamental household item into a bureaucratic nightmare,” according to a White House fact sheet. “The days of weak and useless showerheads are over.”
Electricity expenses were reduced and the environment was protected, according to the Appliance Standards Awareness Project, an organization that promotes energy efficiency.
In the United States, the typical household uses around 20% of their daily indoor water consumption for showering, as reported by the Environmental Protection Agency. Since heating water uses over 20% of the energy in the typical home, installing a water-saving showerhead can have a multiplicative effect on energy savings.
Most of the showerheads on the market now “provide a great drenching,” according to user reviews, according to ASAP director and CEO Andrew deLaski. So, the showerheads that are now on the market don’t pose any problems.
He compared Trump’s directive to his actions during his first administration, when no major showerhead manufacturer made substantial adjustments to their devices, and labeled it a ploy to get around an energy efficiency legislation passed in 1992.
