Low flow shower heads

I don't know what sort of fascist Govt. thinks it is ok to regulate the rate of water coming out of my shower. I had to drill out a showerhead to make it usable today. How the heck did this legislation pass?

same as the ****** low flow toilets. take a good crap in it and it takes 2-3 flushes to get it all away. yeah thats a good fvcking idea.
 
Been around for quite awile I think, usually I just pluck out the offending dodad that blocks the water.

That is a problem with the cheap low flow toilets. The new kohler toilets work much better than the ones they replaced. They very rarely require a multiple flush.

You could do like london, if it's yellow, let it mellow, if it is brown, flush it down.

UGG, grandparent's do that...disgusting.
 
If you just use a screwdriver, you can take out the little plastic piece that restricts the flow. I did this with a cheap showerhead I got recently and it feels absolutely great now.

We have these toilets in our new house that use 1.6 gallons to flush, but if something isn't going down, you hold the lever down and it keeps adding extra water until the flush completes. Pretty cool 🙂

It is more a quality of design issue than a water volume issue.

Only a geek would look at it that way. And only a geek would laugh.
