2. Shower-curtain effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shower-curtain_effect

   The most popular explanation given for the shower-curtain effect is Bernoulli's principle. [1] Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in velocity results in a decrease in pressure. This theory presumes that the water flowing out of a shower head causes the air through which the water moves to start flowing in the same direction as the ...

3. Low-flow fixtures - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-flow_fixtures

   The increasing trend towards multiple shower head outlets per shower in new construction creates problems for residential water efficiency. [11] Low-flow kitchen faucets can cause the filling of a pot to take a long time. In addition, performance issues with low-flow faucets often pertain to their ability to properly rinse or wet.

4. Pressure-balanced valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-balanced_valve

   The pressure-balanced shower valve compensates for changes in water pressure. It has a diaphragm or piston inside that reacts to relative changes in either hot or cold water pressure to maintain balanced pressure. As water pressure drops on one supply line, the valve reduces the pressure in the other supply line to match.

6. Backflow prevention device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backflow_prevention_device

   In water distribution systems, water is normally maintained at a significant pressure to enable water to flow from the tap, shower, or other fixture. Water pressure may fail or be reduced when a water main bursts, pipes freeze, or there is unexpectedly high demand on the water system (for example, when several fire hydrants are opened).

   “Place the shower head upside down and rinse it under the faucet with a blast of water. Then position the shower head to ensure the water flushes out the mineral debris,” advises Peterson.

8. Shower - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shower

   A shower head. A shower head is a perforated nozzle that distributes water over solid angle a focal point of use, generally overhead the bather. A shower uses less water than a full immersion in a bath. Some shower heads can be adjusted to spray different patterns of water, such as massage, gentle spray, strong spray, and intermittent pulse or ...

9. Backflow - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backflow

   Backflow occurs for one of two reasons, either back pressure or back siphonage. [1] Back pressure is the result of a higher pressure in the system than in its supply, i.e. the system pressure has been increased by some means. This may occur in unvented heating systems, where thermal expansion increases the pressure.
