"Get out of my shower!"
From the Wall Street Journal:
"In May, the DOE stunned the plumbing-products industry when it said it would adopt a strict definition of the term 'showerhead' in enforcing standards that have been on the books—but largely unenforced—for nearly 20 years." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...611463490.html So much for the dude selling shower heads at up to $5,500 (24" in diameter, 365 nozzles). |

I always remove the little restrictor in a new shower head. I even have one I take with me when I travel along with the tools to change the shower head in the motel room. TDD |

So much for the dude selling shower heads at up to $5,500 (24" in diameter, 365 nozzles). Heres the script from the Seinfeld showerhead episode: (you need to find a Serbian selling illegal showerheads, the "Commando 450") New scene. Kramer, Newman and a 'salesman' are at the back of a van in an alley. Salesman: All right, I got everything here. I got the Cyclone F series, Hydra Jet Flow, Stockholm Superstream, you name it. Jerry: What do you recommend? Salesman: What are you looking for? Kramer: Power, man. Power. Newman: Like Silkwood. Kramer: That's for radiation. Newman: That's right. Kramer (pointing to the largest one): Now, what is this? Salesman: That's the Commando 450, I don't sell that one. What about thi- Kramer: Well that's what we want, the Commando 450. Salesman, Nah, believe me. It's only used in the circus. For elephants. Newman: We'll pay anything. We've got the (hands a wad of money to Kramer) What about Jerry? Kramer: He couldn't handle that, he's delicate. |

For perspective, a farmer who waits a few more seconds than usual to shut off his irrigation system uses hundreds of thousands of gallons more water doing so. Household use is a drop in the ocean compared to agricultural and industrial use. We don't run out of water. The hydrological cycle cannot be stopped. |
