President Donald Trump signed an executive order lifting federal restrictions on water flow in household appliances, particularly showerheads. The move targets efficiency standards implemented by former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, which limited showerhead water flow to 2.5 gallons per minute.
Trump, who has long criticized these regulations, claimed the rules made it hard for Americans to enjoy a proper shower. “In my case, I like to take a nice shower, take care of my beautiful hair,” Trump said during a White House signing ceremony. He added that current limits forced him to stay under the shower for up to 15 minutes—something he described as “ridiculous.”
The new order, according to a White House fact sheet, is intended to “end the Obama-Biden war on water pressure” and “make America’s showers great again.” It also criticizes overregulation, saying it “chokes the American economy, entrenches bureaucrats, and stifles personal freedom.”
In addition to showerheads, the order lifts efficiency restrictions on other household appliances like toilets and dishwashers, aiming to reduce federal control over consumer water usage. Trump emphasized the importance of personal choice and less federal interference in daily life.
Critics argue the move could undermine years of progress in water conservation and energy efficiency, but supporters claim it restores freedom to consumers and cuts unnecessary regulation.
By rolling back these water flow limits, Trump reinforced his broader campaign against what he sees as burdensome government oversight—highlighting once again his unique blend of policy and personal branding.
