Help me with this puzzler.
I recently replaced a bathroom faucet and the aerator on the new one was a %&$*#!# water saver that put out like 0.0005gpm. I was literally running hot water for five minutes for a shave, and still couldn't get enough water through to overcome, apparently, heat loss into the pipes. After a few lukewarm shaves, yesterday I replaced the aerator with the "standard" 1.5gpm aerator.
So the one I got at Lowes (after a 15/16"-55/64" down adapter) works well, but interestingly, I saw on the packaging that it is marked "for kitchen faucets only". I can't for the life of my figure out why. At first I thought it might be some CA thing about bathroom faucets having to use less water than kitchen faucets or something. However there is no "CA compliant" crap on the packaging, and a quick look at the Orchard Supply website just now showed a bunch of 1.5gpm aerators, none of which (at least on the website) seemed to have this "kitchen only" designation.
Any ideas why this might be printed on the packaging?
