Understanding Water Flow Rates: A Comprehensive Guide
Learn all about your home's water flow and how to measure your specific fixture's water flow rate. Flow rate, in the context of plumbing, refers to the volume of water that passes through a specific point in a pipe or fixture within a given amount of time. It is typically expressed in units such as gallons per minute (GPM) or liters per minute (LPM). Flow rate is a key factor in determining the effectiveness and water efficiency of plumbing fixtures.
