The ultimate guide to testing the water efficiency of your/any faucet or showerhead.
Step 1
PLACE A 1-LITRE JUG UNDER THE FAUCET OR SHOWERHEAD YOU’D LIKE TO TEST, and measure the time (in seconds) it takes for the jug to be roughly full.
Step 2
NEXT, DIVIDE THE NUMBER OF SECONDS BY 60; then divide 1L by your answer to find the flow rate in litres per minute.
