Washington, D.C. – President Trump took a significant step today by signing an Executive Order aimed at revoking the Obama-Biden administration’s regulations on water pressure. This move is intended to make American showers great again by undoing the restrictions that have long plagued consumers.
The Executive Order directs the Secretary of Energy to rescind the complex federal rule that redefined the term “showerhead” during the previous administrations. The new Order seeks to simplify the regulations surrounding showers and revert to the original definition established in the 1992 energy law, which mandates a 2.5-gallons-per-minute standard for showerheads.
By rolling back the excessive regulations surrounding showerheads, President Trump aims to free Americans from bureaucratic constraints that have compromised the functionality of a basic household item. The new Order is part of a broader effort to eliminate unnecessary regulations that inhibit economic growth and individual freedom.
Under the Obama-Biden administration, lengthy rules were imposed, redefining “showerhead” as a “nozzle” and making multi-nozzle showers illegal if they collectively discharged over 2.5 gallons of water per minute. These regulations, driven by a green agenda, have been criticized for making everyday life more difficult for Americans.
Beyond showerheads, the Biden Administration targeted various household appliances, such as gas stoves, water heaters, and washing machines, with convoluted regulations that hindered their performance. President Trump’s directive seeks to alleviate these burdens by cutting through red tape and putting an end to unnecessary government interference.
President Trump’s commitment to dismantling unnecessary regulations and prioritizing American interests is reinforced through this Executive Order. The move is part of a broader initiative to empower citizens by reducing government overreach and fostering economic growth.
