So if someone lives somewhere that has a basically infinite supply of water in the water table under them, has their own well and septic system….they should be using only the products approved by DC because they know better?

So we agree - it’s just “more work” - regardless. Why are we paying the Feds for busy work? Let the locals determine if it’s needed.
No. However, if you value conservation just do it. As someone pointed out, you can always modify the shower head if you want more flow.
At this point in the convo I will just mention that I have a lower flow shower head in my bathroom.
And now I will exit the conversation. 😛

As someone whose SW Iowa well went dry last year I believe everyone needs to be concerned about conserving water. Drought areas are enlarging. Soon many of us may be facing water shortages no matter where we live. A little lower water pressure isn't going to hurt anyone despite Trump's obsession and it might help ease the stress on water supply for everyone.
Watching HGTV it seems like some buyers think showers like this are a great sell/buy feature.I want a shower to be like driving through the car wash!
Yikes!
It would be for me! When I re-do my shower, I think I want something like a scaled-down version of that. Don't need all 4 sides, but maybe 2 would be good, plus the handheld and the rain shower.
Don't get me started on HGTV! The number of people on House Hunters that want a boring, all-white kitchen amazes me! Part of the reason I got the house I did is because the kitchen has colors and a patterned backsplash that I really liked. And these special thin drawers along the bottom of the cabinets where you put your cookie sheets!

Where do you stand to clean yourself with soap in these things?I want a shower to be like driving through the car wash!
I feel like you can get all wet, turn the jets off, soap up, then reactivate the mechanism to blast all the soap and dirt off you. Then you can enjoy maybe 10 minutes of that water relaxing you while you can stand in one place and not have to spin around for coverage.
And freeze your butt off while the water isn't running? No thanks.
Addressing a Growing Water Crisis in the U.S.
In the United States, many people take for granted that water is accessible with a simple turn of a faucet, but today an estimated 2.2 million Americans live in homes without running water or basic plumbing. Because of aging water infrastructure and failing septic systems, tens of millions more...

Except water scarcity is a real issue.
I don’t disagree about scarcities in certain areas. That point was tragically proven when water ran out while fighting the Altadena fires in LA. Phoenix is a very big area for concern as well. Las Vegas is another. Green golf courses are so much more important right? 😵💫Addressing a Growing Water Crisis in the U.S.

Old water wells do run dry and local municipalities who rely on well water and aquifers have to monitor this. And here in Florida we have homeowners who will drill their own wells and have separate meters just for lawn irrigation because leaving your sprinkler system on city water is very costly.
Good call! You'd also want a heater mounted on the ceiling of the shower.
If that thing is powerful enough, you could also use it to dry you off after, instead of towels.
