In California and maybe all of U.S, is there a specific law regarding flow restriction on shower systems.
In the case of shower only, does the flow restriction happen at the valve or at shower head or both. Is this dictated by law or by how each mfg happens to design it.
in my case, even with shower head off, water is low flow. I replaced a brand new cartridge and still low flow. when cartridge is removed, flow is huge. It's a Price Pfister 08 with pressure balanced cartridge. I'm starting to think the pressure balancer is the cause of so much reduced flow. Wonder if a thermostatic valve will have higher flow.
in the case of shower and tub, shouldn't the tub be unrestricted?
Thanks
