Frequently Asked Questions

Multiply US GPM by 3.785. So 10 US GPM = 37.85 L/min. UK GPM × 4.546 = L/min, so 10 UK GPM = 45.46 L/min.

Modern low-flow showerheads: 7.6 L/min (2.0 US GPM) — the US Energy Policy Act standard. Older heads: 9.5 L/min (2.5 GPM). Pre-1992 heads were ~22 L/min.

Cubic feet per minute. Used for HVAC ducts, exhaust fans, air compressors. A typical bathroom exhaust fan = 50–100 CFM. A whole-home AC system = 400 CFM per ton.

No. US gallon = 3.78541 L. UK (imperial) gallon = 4.54609 L. The UK gallon is ~20% larger. UK GPM = 1.20095 × US GPM.

Modern faucets in the US are limited to 8.3 L/min (2.2 GPM). EU tends toward 6 L/min for water-saving. Older taps can exceed 15 L/min.
