Crazy things are happening on Wayfair

I'm so confused. Was this intentional? Did AI backfire and they uploaded the output anyway? Was it malicious compliance?
OK ai bullshit aside, wouldn't that halve the water pressure in each head? It would be nice to not have to swap out when showering together, but fuck you if you think I'm gonna put up with a half-assed trickle.
The key is a low flow showerhead on each side. I DIY'd this with a split showerhead, the kind with a wand in the middle of a ring, and it was magnificent both for when my wife and I shower together, which is our norm, and the rare times we showered alone. No waiting for the other to be done with the water with both of us, and no rotating to keep everything warm when alone! Best shower experience of my life
So, halve the water pressure / output in each head.
By lowering the flow, you're maintaining the pressure, which is a lot more important than overal flow
Sounds like something the guy who pays the water bill would say.
It would work fine for me. Because the water pressure in my area is ludicrous to begin with. (Every plumbing project gets extra difficulty, though, because everything has to be perfectly sealed in order to handle the extra pressure, above what most pipes and fittings are designed for.)
Can you not regulate the incoming main?
Yeah, this is what a pressure reducing valve is for. Basically essential these days, because now things are made to spec, and they're not adding an extra gram of material to handle your 120 psi water main.
Shower heads restrict flow already. The volume of water behind the head is significantly higher than the volume going thru the head, enough so that it can usually support 2 low-flow heads at once.
To see how this works, try timing how long it takes to fill a bucket underneath the faucet in the bath, then how much longer it takes to fill the same bucket with your shower head.
If it takes less than twice as long to fill the bucket with the shower head, then you won't have sufficient pressure to dual nozzle your shower.
This also means you are probably not already using low-flow heads, and it is likely that you are spending more on water than you need, and sending a lot of water down the drain for no reason.
