Now’ the only reason corps making them “must” tell us it can’t be used other than for a shower is the flow rate being 10 gpm vs 2 gpm in kitchen faucets. So its more pressure, actually its like our homes used to get but due to government set standards imposed on us all years ago we only get low flow rated faucets/toilets around 1.5 – 2 gpm today.
