   The increasing trend towards multiple shower head outlets per shower in new construction creates problems for residential water efficiency.

   Also, the tortuous S-shaped path the water is forced to follow offers a significant obstruction to the flow. For high pressure domestic water systems this does not matter, but for low pressure systems where flow rate is important, such as a shower fed by a storage tank, a "stop tap" or, in engineering terms, a "gate valve" is preferred.

8. Pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump

   The head can be simplified as the number of feet or metres the pump can raise or lower a column of water at atmospheric pressure. From an initial design point of view, engineers often use a quantity termed the specific speed to identify the most suitable pump type for a particular combination of flow rate and head.

9. Shower-curtain effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shower-curtain_effect

   It is possible to use a telescopic shower curtain rod to block the curtain on its lower part and to prevent it from sucking inside. Hanging the curtain rod higher or lower, or especially further away from the shower head, can reduce the effect. A convex shower rod can also be used to hold the curtain against the inside wall of a tub.
