I just take out the restrictor in my showerhead and get the full flow.

[Hot Tabasco]

me too

Oh, happy day! These water flow restrictors are pointless because it just takes longer to take a shower or wash one’s hands.

[piasa]

Yep, I did that for my brother in his new house and he thought I’d performed a miracle when he came home and took a shower. He thought the plumber had screwed up, he didn’t know that showerheads were intentionally made nonfunctional to please the leftwing nuts in government.

Kramerica!

NOW DO WASHING MACHINES!!!!!

[crusty old prospector]

How about a toilet that will flush?

[crusty old prospector]

That’s the first thing that I do. Or drill it out.

[crusty old prospector]

A great episode.

[dandiegirl]

And the toilets!

Restricting water flow to one shower head equivalent is discrimatory to tall people...and short people...and pregnant people :)

I’ve long thought that shower water should be diverted to landscaping, to return most of that water to the water table rather restricting showerhead flow and limiting landscape watering days.

Funniest story about this was the urologist who used the practice (non-sterile) set of his ureteroscopic surgery tools to reach into the shower head and cut away the obstruction like it was a swollen prostate gland.

Too bad about the dishwashers. Although my dishwasher stinks because of its low water usage, I'm too cheap to replace it. I'll just run it twice so it can heat and splash water for hours to "Save energy".

Biden-Harris will just change it back. And they will be exempt.

I guess I’d better take this time to restore on proper lightbulbs again. I haven’t bought any in years but I am running low.

[logitech]

I hope gas can restrictors are next.

[wgmalabama]

I drill it out until I get the water flow I want. Water nazis in the fedgov.

[wgmalabama]

Gas cans these days are dangerous. No flow, gurgling, ... they are so bad they are now dangerous to use. I would love an easy mod kit.

[metmom]

I wish he had done this years ago.

There would have been time to manufacture stuff we could actually use.

If Biden gets in, he’ll just reverse this decision.
