On Dec. 16, the U.S. Department of Energy officially reversed weakened showerhead standards adopted under the previous administration. Since 1994, showerheads have been limited to a 2.5-gallon-per-minute (gpm) standard, and in 2013 this requirement was amended to ensure the 2.5-gpm standard applies to fixtures with more than one showerhead. The rules adopted in 2020 allowed each individual showerhead to meet the 2.5-gpm standard (for example, a fixture with three showerheads could use 7.5 gpm), while also exempting body sprays from the standard.
On Friday, July 16, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) issued a notice proposing to revise the current definition of “showerhead” adopted on Dec. 16, 2020, by reinstating the prior definition of “showerhead.”
New standard would allow 2.5 gallons per minute on each showerhead nozzle.
