...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.''

“Almost,,,”

[Concentrate]

“Now lets get rid of those stupid EPA regulated gas can spouts.”

Yeah, they really suck!

My toilet used to clog regularly. New rules:(1) Use ONLY Marcal 1000 sheets TP.(2) Poop once, flush twice.(3)(No Feminine hygiene products whatsoever.)(4) iF YOU’RE JUST WIPING FOR A PEE, PUT IT IN THE WASTE BASKET.i SWEAR iM GOING TO DISABLE THE EFFIN CAPS BUTTON!

These two fixes would cut my liquor bill in half.

Big Liquor bribes engineers to do this.

Yup. The need for water efficiency is far greater in the middle of the South West desert vs the Pacific Northwest rain forest.

Yeah, this is nice, but if he really wants to knock one outa the park...bring back the old gas can nozzles.

I even sent an email about this. Got a real nice reply that they'd be looking at all of this sort of stuff but it still takes three hands to fill up your lawn mower.

Our toilet rule is: "Flush early and often."

BTW, are bidets subject to any water flow rules?

The household used it the way we would use a sink disposal

What's a sink disposal? </AOC>

[JayNorth]

it will drive the deranged enviroweenies crazy

As my grandmother used to say "you shouldn't drive such a short distance, it's a very short walk".

[TnTnTn]

Simple.....just adopt the San Francisco system and crap in the street and yard...problem solved and demonrat approved...

[JayNorth]

Outhouse... My mother put up a stink...

Coffee spurted through my nose on that one...

[KobraKai]

This is something that can gain votes with normal people.

[JayNorth]

Good Grief, why is he messing with this topic? There are a few other priorities he should spend his time on.

That's the genius of Donald J. Trump...he's always ten chess moves ahead.

Post #29 says it best:
Just to be clear, we are in the middle of a Historic Impeachment battle trying to overturn a Presidential Election based on the LIES of power hungry Bureaucrats, crazed Leftist Educational Elites and an out of control Leftist Media and the topic of the day is Water Saving Toilets? POTUS Trump is a Genius.

CA has solved that problem by pooping in the streets.

We should only use one square of toilet paper, according to Sheryl Crow.

[hardspunned]

I’ve had some DS bureaucrat sitting beside me every time I’ve gone to the crapper since I moved into my new house 26 years ago. Trump is my hero.

[taxpayerfatigue]

Whenever I think of Sheryl Crow, I’m repulsed by the way she used Lance Armstrong for her career boost (and he, likewise, used her to gain publicity), then threw him under the bus when it was confirmed that he was drugging. Neither of them had not problems in breaking up his family (with kids). And now this old skank has adopted children — such a child lover she is! To bring this full circle to the subject of flushing toilets, they both need to be circling the drain.

[bgill]

Never could understand why so many, especially FR, had Lance’s back.

[McBuff]

The real problem isn't the ability of new toilets flushing away the waste. . .the problem is that with the less water in the toilet. . the "waste" sits on the bottom of the toilet and, when flushed, it leaves "residue" along the sides and bottom of the toilet. . .which must then be cleaned with a toilet brush and flushed a second time. With more water in the toilet, the waste material floats and doesn't leave its nasty residue when flushed.
(Sorry for the explicit technical explanation!)

[Rebelbase]

I stripped the spring guts out of the last spout I bought and cork it with a rubber stopper from Ace Hardware.

[Old Yeller]

Automatic flush toilets are a waste too. Motion sensored. They flush when you first sit down, so you have to jump up so you don’t get splashed. Then when you get up to wipe, it flushes before you even start wiping. You end up having to touch the button to make it flush anyway, when you’re done, because it won’t flush after the paper is put in. So, there is aminimum of 3 flushes with those stupid toilets.
