I never understood why this was such a big issue for TFG

The Biden administration has reinstated water efficiency caps on shower heads, completing a rollback of a last-minute Trump administration rule that baffled consumer groups.
The Energy Department finalized a rule requiring a 2.5 gallon-per-minute maximum flow rate from shower heads, which was set by Congress in 1992, the agency announced late Tuesday in a pre-publication notice in the Federal Register.
The DOE, under former President Donald Trump, had finalized in December 2020 allowing manufacturers to bypass those standards by limiting that flow rate to individual shower heads.
Showers with two or three nozzles could double or triple the total flow rate of showers.
