      God, I hate the aerated stuff. (I’m fine with dual flush toilets – but aren’t all the new ones dual flush anyway – and rainwater collection for flushing.)

      > which increase air in the water stream to make the flow seem fuller and more powerful

      They never seem to rinse off well, even if you rinse for longer. I just want that decent blast of high pressure dense water.

      It seems that we’d be better off controlling population increase better (under our current circs), building some reservoirs and if we really want to save some water maybe do so at the points where it’s just leaking away.

      Can’t wait for everyone in hard water areas to take them off 6 months later when it’s blocked up with limescale.

      Surely the house owner would be able to replace the shower head for a standard one?

      I notice a general pattern…

      Brits make rules to increase eco-friendliness at the expense of quality of life. Americans do the reverse.

      The end result is an american home is bigger than a british one, uses 4x the electricity use, has higher ceilings and bigger windows, has decent (air) heating rather than slow water-based radiators, has 2 large cars and a garage out front rather than a bus pass, has a toilet that refills in 5 seconds not 50, has a powerful gas hob that will boil water in 1 minute not 10, etc.

      Basically, we have a worse quality of life in so many ways to protect the environment. And I feel like we the public weren’t consulted.

      The building inspector we had said he was aware we could swap all the fixtures once he was done, so just don’t take the piss and he won’t look closely.
      The new build water calc was genuinely tough to reach as it is

      I was in a Premier Inn hotel in the summer. It had a very fancy shower. Two in-fact. One was as shit as the other. The one at my house actually makes me feel clean. It is just an electric one the older 9kw one was good, the present 10kW one is better, but not by mutch. Aerating the water will make it feel colder, and make the whole process slower.

      A pressure washer nozzle would lead to shorter showers. Water is not the problem, the energy to heat it is.

      First they came for the light bulbs, then the vacuum cleaners, now the showers.
