Does it reduce the water pressure in the Kitchen very much?

if it is installed correctly and you have your pressure regulator on the unit, you can always put your regulator after the unit or get a adjustable regulator for in front of the filter and your normal regulator after then you should not have an pressure difference

Not very much but if the pressure without the filter is already low, you will notice it. But clean water is more important to me than water pressure.

Yes. When doing so the pressure of the flow will obviously be reduced in both but it is a nice feature

not really a lot of pressure but you have to hold the button in while you're cleaning. that might be problematic for you

Yes, less pressure. I always assumed is was a "water saving" feature. Government mandated?

No, the pressure gets less and less after each push of the button. Also, i am dissapointed it loses pressure after a few days.

Yes it does reduce the flow by about 15-20% unfortunately. Just had to take it off and re-do the teflon tape on it and used the showerhead without this diverter. It's solidly built and made out of metal. Well built

I hope this is the answer to the question you are asking..... It seems to me that it reduces the flow or volume of water that emerges from the shower head. Before installation I had a high volume with strong force.... water splashed out of the shower stall door. After install the water flow was greatly diminished. As I wrote to another person... I installed this in the guest bathroom at my summer home with two goals.... 1) to reduce the mess 2) to provide an unsatisfactory guest shower so that they leave on time and not linger for "a few more days". Both goals achieved.

I use it as a whole house filter and didn't notice any pressure drop. I'm sure it will as the filter clogs, but nothing now. I only have 35 pounds and it seems the same as before.

No. It is only a simple check valve for a water hose type system. If you want to reduce the water pressure, then you would need to insert a restrictive rubber washer or else get a pressure regulator.

No. There is often a flow restrictor that can be removed to give more pressure if your water pressure is low.

Not very much at all. I've only used it one time to fill a hot tub, and the water pressure dropped very little. It definitely does not slow the pressure to a trickle, simply takes out the impurities in the water. I highly recommend it!

Not sure if it reduces the pressure but I actually use it with a 1/4" dripline and it works pretty good.

No, and personally I had to remove a flow regulator in the other part of my shower pipe because after a couple years of use, it gunked up and severely restricted flow. After removing that, the water pressure is pretty high, which is preferred by everyone in my house other than me, but before it was just a trickle.

I don't think water pressure has much to do with this unit, I am very happy with mine, it is more with pressure in the house, and I know water pressure is an issue in my house.

yes, it does. we've always had good water pressure where we live. and it stayed the same when we hooked it up. :) hope this helps.

Does not reduce pressure. Water is always available. Even during backwash cycle. Fantastic product!

The water pressure is good, will be close to the actual pressure that you have with maybe a little bit of improvement. nothing noticeable for me.
