Sure, the celebs will abide with that law.
FU
It’s hard as hell to take a shower as it is and now they want a further restriction.
Maybe I just fill one of them 10 gallon camping showers and start showering in the backyard....
The lonely neighbor ladies would probably appreciate the morning view....
It all depends on water pressure.
I had an apartment with a 1.5 gallon head, with very high pressure. No problem. It worked great, saved lots of hot water.
I put the same head in my house that is much lower pressure, no good. Less than a gallon a minute.
So if you have city water under high pressure, it’s actually good and saves you money. But Low pressure, forget it, if you have big head of hair, will drive you nuts trying to rinse it out.
About 2ounces per second.
How about we restrict bathtubs to no more than 10 gallons with mandatory overflow valves?
Anyone with any brains whatsoever know how to hack a shower head to get the flow they want.
” The standards will save about 154 billion gallons of water in the next 10 years, the commission estimates...”
Other experts estimate that over the next million years these shower heads will save more water than exists on the planet.
Silly people. Useful idiots. Dangerous progressives. A state with an estimated 840 miles of shoreline on the Pacific Ocean, and short of water? More like short on brains and the will to use them.
Some folks in San Francisco may be upset with these new head requirements.
Or not...
>> One has to wonder if the residents of California have a breaking point?
Here’s the problem: because of the huge number of pestilent vermin in California, they make for a big market. So, ALL of us will be subjected to THEIR nanny’s rulings — because shower head companies will stop making “non-Kommiefornia” high flow heads.
I still have a stash of pre-gore shower heads..
No restriction at all..
man is it nice.
We were just in CA and out of respect for the drought took “navy showers”. It seem to me the hotels had too much water flow.
Shower head flow restriction is generally created by inserting a washer that has small holes in it.
I live in a Great Lakes city, we have plenty of water and it is relatively inexpensive. Whenever I get a new shower head I simply remove the restrictive flow washer and put in a standard open washer. Lots of water pressure.
So the solution to drought is simple: use less water.
They should mandate a 10 second shower limit. Use those irritating airport faucets that turn themselves off before you can finish washing your hands. Make Californians keep pushing the shower knob every 10 seconds to restart the shower. It’s for the planet!
Doing our part. We’ve been using squirt guns to water our plants. Of course we only have cactus now.
Our shower heads have shutoff valves as well. We take military showers in our house. And no, we are not on a meter; we have our own well.
Install two.
Idiots! People will just run the faucets longer!
If you lay on your back and pee in the air you will exceed California water temperature and flow rate standards for a shower.
We just pull or drill the restrictors out. Been doing it for decades
