A good faucet flow rate is around 1.5 GPM or even 0.5 GPM (according to WaterSense standard).
One may also ask, is 1.8 gpm a good flow rate?
This means no more than 2.5 gallons of water should flow out each minute. The GPM flow rate for shower heads has decreased over time. If your current shower head was made in the 1980’s or 1990’s, its flow rate could be 3.5 GPM or more!
Furthermore, what does 1.8 gpm mean for kitchen faucet? Hi, Thought the faucet of all things would be an easy decision. I’m realizing that many out there have recently been manufactured with a reduced flow rate of 1.8 gallons per minute.
Also question is, what is the average gpm for a kitchen faucet?
The average flow rate of a kitchen faucet is 2.2 gallons per minute. Most new kitchen faucets have an aerator, the screw-on tip of the nozzle on the faucet.
What is the highest flow rate kitchen faucet?
2.2 gallons per minute
