How does changing the shower head increase water pressure? Shouldn’t the water be coming out at the same pressure throughout my house in spite of what shower head I have?
In: Engineering
Diameter affects water pressure. If you have a single story home and the pipes are all the same diameter then the pressure will be even throughout up until the point where the diameter changes, such as a spigot or faucet. It’s like putting your thumb on the end of a hose. .the less space you allow water to escape through, the more the pressure builds up and forces the water out faster in a stronger stream. The pressure only changes at the point of restriction.
