what is the actual gpm water usage?

I don't know what the gpm is, I do know it is not a water saver and that is why I like it for showering.

I know they are shipped with a 2.5 gpm @80 psi flow restrictor (by law). Most of the power in this shower head is from the build up of pressure and air, not forcing more water. Getting in & out without spending 10 minutes (or more) trying to get the shampoo out of your hair isn't going to save you time OR water. This shower head will get you an efficient shower without wasting water.My husband says he's never had a better shower, and for the price, it can't be beat.

The Flush plate has 2 pressure plates. One only gives a short shot of water when pressed the other is the Main Flush for when you have to flush a turd! The short flush uses approx. 3 liters and the main uses about 6 liters. We find it does a really good job and we have no complaints.

I was curious as well and just tested it. (I purchased this because I recently discovered my previous showerhead of 12 years was 10 gpm! So I'm trying to be more water conscious.) Understanding there could be some human error, with both on, I got 3.3 gpm. With one (didn't mater which), I got 2.2 gpm. Either way, still less than 10 gpm AND because it's such a nice showerhead (compared to the temporary $1.95 plastic replacement I used for a week before this), I can take much quicker showers, thereby saving more water. This last point is probably only applicable to people with long thick hair they have to wash. I was curious as well and just tested it.

I read the spec on the ratio between purified water and drain water but can't recall the numbers. The amount of water used in the process isn't something I notice but if you are concerned about this compare the ratios between purifiers to get a baseline. My purifier continues to provide trouble free service. Very satisfied.

Hi Tog, We have been using the filters at the house for over a year. They're working Great, can't tell you the GPM but I have them rigged in pairs (2 sets) and I run about 10 GPM at times. Hope this helps. Capt. Bob

I don't know gPh either but handles watering my garden with water turned on full blast and no issues. I am very happy with it.

I am not sure of PSI or GPM coming out of the shower head. i know it is going through quite a bit of water but it feels awesome like a waterfall and i don't have a lot of pressure i am also on city h2o. hope this helps...

A couple of gallons. I don't know exactly. I would have to go look on the paperwork.

GPM is gallons per minute. It is the flow rate that the filter will process. The pressure drop is the lower pressure that is caused when your well water tank cycles on and off when drawing new water out of the ground. Make sure your pressure valve cuts off around 40 psi.

Occupants has nothing to do with this question , it's gallons per minute{ GPM} The hot water flow that you need is what you need to know, Input water temp. has little effect when buying like I do, With a bucket measure the water flow at a shower if it's 1.5gal a minute then buy a 3GPM unit and you will love it like I do mine. Remember over kill is best

Simply gallon per hour of filtration or gph. The higher the model number the more filtration per hour. 1500 does around 300 gph. If you have a large tank...then the aquarium environment needs a filter capable of maintaining it and more gph of filtration.

Officially it is 1.6 GPM (page 2 of the manual) but it will depend on the initial temperature of the water and the setting you are using.

I'm not sure on the GPM for the jets, but that would be highly dependent on your water pressure. They seem to use about the same amount of water as a 2.5 GPM shower head. All functions on the unit are independent, so you can run the shower and jets at the same time, but it definitely causes a pressure drop.

I don't recall the exact amount but it is very low water use. Far less than if I washed by hand. As I recall the normal cycle only uses about 3 gallons for the entire cycle.

I have only used this system connected to a hose bib. That being said, a pump could be used, but would need to have a capable of about 30 to 40 psi and maybe 1 to 3 gallons per minute. And, even then you may want to have a valve in line to throttle it back the gpm even more.

The rated flow of the S8Q-PA is 20 GPM (US Public Health dosage). It depends on your pump/ flow rate for cycling water through yout filter. Check on the pool filter pump flow rate to make sure that the UV is not undersized for the pump flow rate. The S8Q-PA at 20 GPM will take a little over 7 hours to cycle the 8500 gallons.

Can't gauge GPM because you adjust the water flow according to how cold or warm the water is that's going into the heater. Down in winter when incoming water is cold and up in summer, etc. Hope this makes sense.
