Does anyone actually have problems with the shower water pressure?

I had the best shower in Vegas when I visited. It was next level. I'd advise OP to move there, ignore the virus and get you a good shower pressure.

at the Trump Hotel the 120 gallon roman tub only took like 15 minutes to fill. Every McMansion i've stayed over at in Vegas also had pretty nice shower facility too. I think the game is Airbnb'ing one of those nowadays.

Jeeze just buy a real vibrator already, OP. It’s 2020.

Yea maybe you need a garbage disposal in your shower drain?

That way you can cook and prepare meals while bathing

I've lived most of my life in coastal elite cities and my shower pressure has always been robust. I guess this is a problem for hicks in Middle America and the south?

Low water pressure in a shower if a pet peeve for me. This is one of the only times I've actually been very happy with a random Trump tangent, because I hate this rule.

Water is an infinitely renewable resource, and I don't live in a desert. There is zero reason to have terrible water pressure in the name of conservation here. Water is basically free for a reason, and the actual real uses of water on a problematic scale involve swimming pools, watering lawns, industry and agriculture, not my shower.

Fortunately, I do not have this problem, and would modify my showerhead myself to strip out any flow impediment regardless of government mandate, as it is absolutely unacceptable.

I live in a very wet area with some pretty large reservoirs and surrounded by sea (never more than 70 miles away). Even with such an abundance of water there can be shortages in the summer.

I appreciate every area has its own challenges (major cities where I live tend not to be more than about 20 miles from each other so the population is pretty dense) but I think you are underestimating the logistical difficulties in supplying clean fresh water, removing grey and black waste and keeping it separated from the clean until it is treated.

I am really not. There's a reason why water costs almost nothing, its because its not actually that hard to make. You can't waste it on a massive scale, but a shower use is frankly so small as to be trivial. By far the larger cost and associated environmental impact is heating the water, which could cost upwards of 10 cents a minute on a 5 gpm showerhead.

Hot showers with decent pressure are one of life's great joys and are absolutely trivial in resource use. Under no circumstances will I accept flow restriction on my showerheads.
