Why does the force of the water coming out a sink faucet not strengthen when both hot and cold handles are turned as far as they can go, versus one or the other?
In: Engineering
It may also be related to the aerator on your faucet. For example, your faucet may have an aerator that allows a maximum of 1.5 Gallons Per Minute (GPM) to pass through. If you turn the cold handle all the way on and the water pressure is high enough, you may get 1.5 GPM of cold water. Then if you also turn the hot handle all the way on, you may have something like 0.75 GPM each of hot and cold water.
