I'm trying to find out what a good Flow rate for a faucet is. I want to make sure my faucet has the right amount of water pressure and isn't wasting too much water.
Typically, the average flow rate for faucets ranges between 1.0 gallons per minute (gpm) and 2.2 gpm.

Specifically in the United States, the maximum allowable Flow rate for kitchen and bathroom faucets is set at 2.2 gpm when the water pressure is 60 psi.

In regions with stricter environmental regulations, the maximum Flow rates for faucets are often further restricted to promote even more conservation.
