You may need to flush 10 times, but that has to do with your situation. Not everyone is flushing the toilet 10 times to get it cleared out. I get by with just one flush.

I personally hate low-flow showerheads, but it's a preference thing for me. It's also easy to modify a showerhead so I'm not too concerned.

So far, nobody here has agreed with Trump that you need to run your dishes through a dishwasher 5 or 10 times just to get them clean.

Have you ever owned a dishwasher? If a dishwasher had a low flow jet, it wouldn't save any water. In fact, dishwashers deliberately have strong, high flow jets.

My dog only needs one go at a pot or pan to polish it clean. But then tRump hates dogs, so he wouldn't know about this easy solution.

That's in fact how they make them now. You can't have high velocity high flow with almost no water inside the dishwasher. That's why the cycles now are in the hours instead of minutes.

You actually can, and you do. When you have a moment, find a dishwasher and take a look at the jets. You have less water to work with, so the jets don't all run at the same time (water switches across the jets rather than all the jets constantly flowing), but they are still high velocity high flow. Dishwashers take longer to run as a result, but a dishwasher is a set it and forget it machine. You put in dirty dishes, and out come clean, dry dishes.

Ummm...we are talking about the new dishwashers that have restricted high-velocity water flow. Cycles that now go on for hours & hours. It costs more in electricity than it's worth. Google some of the public complaints about this.
