What's the difference Between Water Flow Restriction vs. Flow Regulation?Updated 4 months ago
In the above video, we highlight Neoperl flow regulators used in our HammerHead Showers products.
Key Concepts:
- Flow Restrictors vs. Flow Regulators:
- Flow Restrictors: These limit the water flow to a set amount, regardless of your home's water pressure. This can lead to inconsistent performance—if you have low pressure, you might get even less water than expected, and if you have high pressure, you may exceed the stated flow rate.
- Flow Regulators: Unlike restrictors, flow regulators maintain a consistent water flow, delivering the same amount of water no matter the pressure in your home.
How It Works:
- Neoperl's design features a black washer that expands or contracts based on water pressure.
- Low Pressure: The washer remains unexpanded, allowing maximum flow up to the rated limit.
- High Pressure: The washer expands, restricting excess water flow to prevent overwhelming amounts.
Conclusion:
With HammerHead Showers' flow regulators, you can enjoy a reliable and balanced shower experience, no matter your home’s water pressure. Say goodbye to traditional flow restrictors—it’s all about flow regulation!
