Summary
Saving Homeowners from Overregulation With Exceptional Rinsing Act or the SHOWER Act
This bill provides statutory authority for a revised definition of showerhead for the purpose of federal water efficiency regulations. Specifically, the bill adopts the definition of showerhead established by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The bill also requires the Department of Energy (DOE) to revise existing regulations to reflect the new definition.
Executive Order 14264 (titled Maintaining Acceptable Water Pressure in Showerheads and issued on April 9, 2025) directed DOE to rescind its regulatory definition of showerhead. This bill provides statutory authority for a new definition that replaces the rescinded regulations.
