I'm in the market for a new shower head and I have a question about pressure and flow rate.
I want as much water as possible coming out of the shower head, but I also would like at least moderate pressure. I have a well, so the pressure varies depending on how much water is in the pressure tank. I'd say it cycles between 50 and 70psi.
What's the difference between a 1.75g/m head vs. a 2.5g\m head? Are there just more/larger holes in the head?
Should I look for a shower head like the Moen Engage: https://www.moen.com/products/Engag...-Diameter-Spray-Head-Handheld-Shower/26115SRN that delivers 2.5g/m, or a head like the Moen Engage https://www.moen.com/products/Engag...netix-Eco-Performance-Handheld-Shower/26100EP that has a flow rate of 1.75g/m?
Kohler has a head https://www.us.kohler.com/us/awaken...ges/1979326.htm?skuId=1979189&brandId=1148916 that promises 2.5 gpm (9.5 lpm) maximum flow rate at 45 psi. Is that possible with 1/2 pipes?
Thanks in advance for your help,
