I recently swapped out my old faucets for those low-flow ones to save a bit on the water bill, and um... it's been interesting. At first, I was like, "hey, this is great, saving water and all," but now washing dishes feels kinda different. Like, the pressure isn't bad exactly, but it just feels lighter somehow? I dunno how else to describe it. Maybe I'm just used to blasting my dishes clean with Niagara Falls-level pressure, lol.

Also noticed it takes a bit longer to fill up pots or pitchers. Not a huge deal, but definitely noticeable when you're standing there waiting. On the upside though, my water bill did drop a little last month, so that's something.

Curious if anyone else has switched over recently and noticed similar stuff. Did you get used to it eventually or does it still feel kinda off?

Haha, I can relate. My house is pretty old, and when I switched to low-flow taps a few months ago, it took some serious getting used to. The flow felt noticeably softer, and filling up large pots definitely tested my patience. But honestly, after a few weeks it stopped bothering meβ€”I guess you just adapt eventually. Plus, seeing the water bill drop even slightly makes it worthwhile in the long run.
