...Trump said Friday that his administration is looking into relaxing water-saving regulations for toilets, sinks and showers, saying consumers end up using even more water by flushing multiple times and trying to get clean with low water streams.
People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times as opposed to once. They end up using more water,'' Trump said while talking with business owners about what he said are common sense'' steps to end overregulation. "The EPA is looking at that very strongly at my suggestion.''

GOOD! And while you are at it, get rid of those idiotic gas cans and also make clothes washers and dish washers that actually clean clothes and dishes too.
I have one of those lo-flo toilets in my house. I named it Albert.
Great - he was - is the best ever!
I used to love reading Dave Berry.He has a sick sense of humor. Like me.
>>This could win his reelection by fixing this alone!<<
Add doing away with ventless gas cans and he’d be a shoo-in.
I ended up buying a plain nozzle online. Works great. Don't have to worry about it anymore. Can pour gas with one hand.

I think PRESIDENT TRUMP was probably just exaggerating with his 10 to 15 times analogy, but 2 to 3, and sometimes even 4 is not uncommon.
This comes from an old plumber who has had to repair or unclog many a water closet in his time.
(it may be shit to you, but it’s bread and butter to me)
You can still get them in designer fixtures, but they are a pain in the neck to hang and plumb in.
ABSOLUTELY TRUE!
Not enough enough volume to reach what is called “scouring velocity”.
The solids fall out of solution in the houseline sewer, build up at the dip of the pipe, and eventually plug the whole house system up.
More money in my pocket when I was in the trade!
You can still find a good American Standard with a 5 gallon tank in some of the salvage yards.
Solids dont fall out of solution. They could, however, fall out of suspension.
We just had a similar occurrence. We need to have our sewer line cleaned out at least once every two years.
She can do what she likes, as long as I never have to be anywhere near her!
I have an excellent sense of smell.
Beg Pardon; should have said suspension, just getting old I guess.
Particles in solution have basically become one with the water, and will continue with the flow.
Particles in suspension will fall out of the water due to their specific gravity, the particles being slightly denser than the water.
I appreciate your correction.
I was a chemistry major in college.
I wont miss incandescent light bulbs or compact fluorescents either. LEDs are the way to go.
My Bachelors was in Fluid Dynamics with minors in water treatment and distribution.
Of course that was over 50 years ago and the old brain ‘AIN’T WHAT SHE USED TO BE”.
Still I appreciate your correction, a lot of information goes out over Free Republic, and I don’t want to be responsible for bad info.
Thanks Again.
