Many faucets have flow restrictors that you can take off. My kitchen guy asked me if I wanted it off and I said yes. It seemed to double the flow rate.
Exactly. There were small (1/4", maybe 5/16") neoprene or poly-something o-rings in our two new Delta shower setups. The plumber just popped them out. Doubled the flow. You also have to occasionally check the faucet filters for debris.
Here in CaCaLand it is state law that no faucet (except commercial) can deliver >2.2gpm. This was a “drought prevention” thingie some years ago.
Yah see, even tho you pay for the water (and the $$$ to support the water systems) you are too stupid to be counted on to watch the pot you are trying to fill in the sink. Might waste a bit.
In addition, each has 1-2 check valves inside them to prevent the same stupid home citizen from leaving a faucet (i.e., one of those on a hose) in a dirty pot. Can’t have that ‘cause if the water pressure from the city were to suddenly cut out your hose could siphon dirty water back into the city pipes.
It is these CaCaLand laws that “lead the nation” in forcing manufacturers to sell only the stupid crappola to the stupid citizens.
Just imagine what Gavin Newsom is gonna be able to force DIRECTLY upon all citizens when he is installed into the WHouse in Nov.
See my post “11”. Thanks.
