The U.S. House passed the Shower ACT to allow higher showerhead water flow, reversing a 2014 efficiency standard.
The U.S. House passed the Shower ACT, 226-197, to codify a 2024 executive order by President Trump that relaxed federal water efficiency standards for showerheads, allowing flow rates above 2.5 gallons per minute.
The bill, backed by Republicans and 11 Democrats, aims to restore consumer choice and improve shower experience, particularly citing low water pressure in hotels.
Opponents, including environmental groups and some Democrats, warn it could increase water and energy use, raising utility bills and harming conservation efforts.
The legislation follows years of shifting federal policy on water standards, originally established in 2014 and temporarily suspended under Trump before being reinstated under Biden.
Its future in the Senate is uncertain.
