Julius Ballanco: Showerheads: New administration, new definition

Rather than conserving water, the Trump-era definition of showerhead would allow for an increase in water usage.

No Comments

In a previous column last year, I identified a change in definition, by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), regarding showerheads, body sprays and safety shower showerheads.

Most plumbing manufacturers thought when DOE proposed the rule, it was nice but had very little chance of being finalized. That is why it was so shocking when on Dec. 8, 2020, the final rule was signed into law.
