Donald Trumps latest target for deregulation is Americans toilets.
The president on Friday said he ordered a federal review of water efficiency standards in bathroom fixtures and complained that people are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times as opposed to once in homes with low-flow appliances.
He said other bathroom fixtures have slowed water to a trickle.
You cant wash your hands practically, theres so little water comes out of the faucet, and the end result is you leave the faucet on and it takes you much longer to wash your hands, you end up using the same amount of water, Trump said at an event with small-business owners at the White House.

With everything going on in the world, THIS is what he's worried about? Maybe he clogged is golden throne with all those Big Macs he's been chomping down.
BTW, appropriate that one of the reporters is Justin Sink?

(3,335 posts)unnecessary motorcade rides back and forth to Joint Base Andrews, and wasted airplane fuel flying back and forth to Florida. Then there's the cost of transporting the Secret Service's motor vehicles back and forth as well, just to promote his businesses. I assure you if he had to pay for ONE trip, he wouldn't be taking another one. FTR, I recognize that the POTUS has to travel for business, but much of what he travels for is just showboating.
The Obama's went to Hawaii once a year on vacation and Trump never stopped talking about how costly those trips were, and here he is running around the world to insult our allies and to sneak private time with Putin.

When I was in college years ago, a friend of mine told me that people stick with the last hairstyle when someone said "Hey, that looks great on you!". Then slowly over time it morphs into a hideous caricature of the original style. This is particularly true with folks with early dementia... They just keep replaying the last things that they were competent at... This is like Trump with his carpet samples... He's now reverting to "low flow" show head complaints...

(14,967 posts)We completely remodeled the two bathrooms in our house a couple of years ago for accessibility reasons. The fixtures being removed ranged in age from post-WWII vintage original to the house to 80s vintage from a prior owner's remodel, but all were fully and properly functional at the time of being removed.
ALL -- every single one -- of the NEW fixtures (shower heads, toilets, sink faucets, etc) are SUPERIOR to the ones they replaced. It is not even close. In addition to using less water, their function is better -- probably because the designs are better/different.
If this clown is flushing 10 to 15 times it is because he's putting stuff in his toilet that isn't supposed to be flushed (like notes/memos/office papers he wants to destroy, or something adult diaper related or god-knows-what-else) or because his stupid fucking gold toilet was designed to be shiny not designed to be functional.

(2,550 posts)>"But before we debate how waterless urinals save water, weve got to say the following are guesstimates. The amount typically quoted is that one waterless urinal can result in 35,000 gallons of water saved per year.
However, the amount of water saved when waterless urinals are installed can vary as a result of several factors, starting with where they are installed. Are the waterless urinals located in the mens restroom of a bar or restaurant? A school or library? An airport or convention center? A home?"<
> "In an office with one urinal and 25 male workers, one urinal may use approximately 50,000 gallons of water per year.
"A restaurant with three urinals and an average of 150 male customers per day will use at least 72,000 gallons of water annually.
"An educational facility with 10 urinals and 300 male students can use as much as 330,000 gallons of water per school year
(approximately 185 days).*

That's just men's urinals in one location. Consider tanked sit-down toilets that use considerable more water per flush.
"If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down." (change that to "if it's orange" lol)

By the way I have never heard of flushing 10 times at one use, well unless you have diarrhea.

We replaced some old toilets a couple of years ago. The new ones are far better than the old ones, hands down.

(33,643 posts)It also does in fact end up taking longer ... and while I may end up using less water when using them, I HATE my shower experience with them.
Much rather shower less often (not a 'sweating' type of person), and/or do it faster, than deal w/a low-flow shower head ...
Everything else, I'm all for conservation. Higher flow is really not that important for hand-washing like donnie dipshit thinks, and I've never heard of anyone flushing 10-15 times cause of a lower-flow toilet
All the shower heads in both my parent's houses (in CA) are that wimpy crap ... drives me nuts. I'm like where's my baseball cap and deodorant ... f that shower noise.
But here in AZ, at MY house? The head is like 7 inches across and that shit BOOMS. I absolutely love it. I just shower quick so as to not waste much H2O.

(17,110 posts)I actually sell toilets as part of my job. I know 'em. The toilets that were first designed to be low-flow left a lot to be desired- their flushes were anemic, and they often didn't do the job. But that was a couple of decades ago. The engineering and efficiency of current low-flush toilets is up to whatever someone could throw at them.
I give credit to the designers who've brought the flushing power and the water savings up to the standards we've set for them.
Trump and his anally mis-developed personality problems have got to go.
