Yes they fucking do, but were told to limit our showers to <5 minutes, and upon occasion live by the mantra, “If it’s yellow it’s mellow, if it’s brown flush it down…”
Every drop counts. On the plus side when you remove the flow restriction from your shower, you never need to shower more than 5 minutes, because you’re being pummeled with an absolutely luxurious deluge. Warm up faster, rinse off faster. It’s not even clear to me that it uses more water.
My pressure is so high it stings without it, I mean that's one way to get clean by grinding off the top layer of flesh.
If American showers allowed adjustment of both pressure and temperature like most modern European ones, you wouldn't have this issue
I didn't like the trickle that I got, so I tried removing it, and it was high flow but not enough pressure, so I just used a drill to enlarge the hole a little bit and it's much better.
Problem is if you let it mellow too long it starts growing stuff in your toilet. Then you gotta bleach the damn water
