    Shape the water stream coming out of the faucet spout, to produce a straight and evenly pressured stream; Conserve water and reduce energy costs; Reduce faucet noise; Increase perceived water pressure (often used in homes with low water pressure); sometimes described as a pressure regulator or flow regulator

  3. Venturi effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_effect

    The upstream static pressure (1) is higher than in the constriction (2), and the fluid speed at "1" is lower than at "2", because the cross-sectional area at "1" is greater than at "2". A flow of air through a pitot tube Venturi meter, showing the columns connected in a manometer and partially filled with water. The meter is "read" as a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulator_pump

    Using cold water instantly lowers the water pressure in the cold water lines, the higher water pressure in the hot water lines force water through "normally open" thermostatic crossover valves and backflow check valves (which only prevent cold water from flowing into hot water line), increasing the energy demand on the water heater.

  5. Water supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply

    Gravity water has a small pressure (say 1 ⁄ 4 bar in the bathroom) so needs wide pipes to allow for higher flows. This is fine for baths and toilets but is frequently inadequate for showers. A booster pump or a hydrophore is installed to increase and maintain pressure. For this reason urban houses are increasingly using mains pressure boilers ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booster_pump

    Principle of a gas booster pump used to increase pressure of a compressed air supply. Gas pressure boosting may be used to fill storage cylinders to a higher pressure than the available gas supply, or to provide production gas at pressure higher than line pressure. Examples include:
