ABSTRACT:
A set of selectable custom water flow restrictors is provided to limit water flow to a predetermined selected gallons-per-minute rate. The restrictor is inserted in-line upstream of the faucet, shower or other water appliance to which water passing through the line is delivered. The restrictor has upstream and downstream chambers connected by a restricting orifice, with the chambers being specially designed to eliminate noise from the restrictor, and to cause the restrictor to be self-cleaning. A downstream water pulse-hammer mitigation disc may be used in conjunction with the main portion of the restrictor in appropriate circumstances.
