What exactly does the pressure cleaner adapter do?? Does this item seem to restrict the water flow at all??

The unit self doesnt restrict water flow...Im not sure what the adapter is though..

There is no restrictor. Inside the handle part (which comes apart with a small twist - see locked and unlocked icons on the handle) is the filter tube, which removes chlorine, etc. The pressure flow can be altered on the spray dodk face, using the lever at the side of the face. Hope this helps!

It appears that there is a flow restrictor in the spray head at the point where it attaches to the hose. I experienced unacceptably low water flow immediately after installing this faucet, so I took another look and discovered the flow restrictor. I removed the O-Ring and the little plastic part with holes in it...then reinstalled the spray head. My water flow is now just right. I went from about .9 gallons per minute to about 1.33 gpms after removing these parts.

there is no water flow adjustment, it basically streams water until hot water is detected and almost cuts the water flow completely down to hardly anything, until you pull the lever and then you get full pressure for the remainder of your shower

Yes it does reduce the flow of water. If you have a good flow now it is not significant.

it doesn't seem to reduce pressure.... and yes you still have water during the backwash. I assume its not filtered. I have a dual tank softner that delivers filter water during backwash process

I did not notice any drop in water pressure at all, but I'm on a city system and my water pressure is actually to high! But I thing it all comes down to the filter cartridge, you use, the more they filter out the more restrictive, lowering your water pressure. Some filter cartridges filter out down to one micron and need changed monthly, may lower your water pressure. I use the ones that need changed every three months, and when they flushed our water lines, I had a lot of junk trapped by my filter. I also ran 3/4" pipe from the pipe interring the house to the filter before I tied it into my house system, which is using 1/2" pipe. No problems so far, I would recommend the Watts filter to anyone.

I also have a very strong water pressure and it doesnt affect the hose.Works fine-no problem

Yeah, it restricts flow nicely in my experience. I have it right behind a large, 5"-wide showerhead that has too much flow by itself. This little valve is great for adjusting the flow to my or my wife's preferred pressure.

I have purchased two of these filters for two seperate showers. The second one I ordered came with a water flow restrictor ring which was an optional use feature. I used the ring on the second shower and now wish I had one for the first as well. Overall I would say the filter alone does not reduce water flow and if it does it's minimal.

I hope this is the answer to the question you are asking..... It seems to me that it reduces the flow or volume of water that emerges from the shower head. Before installation I had a high volume with strong force.... water splashed out of the shower stall door. After install the water flow was greatly diminished. As I wrote to another person... I installed this in the guest bathroom at my summer home with two goals.... 1) to reduce the mess 2) to provide an unsatisfactory guest shower so that they leave on time and not linger for "a few more days". Both goals achieved.

Does not reduce pressure. Water is always available. Even during backwash cycle. Fantastic product!

Hmmmm. You do need reasonable pressure to make it work. I'm concerned about your application, though. This is primarily a thing that allows you to "dump at home" where you don't have typical sewer hookups. You run the hose in the house and stick it into a convenient sewer drain. (I use a clean out.) Not sure why you would choose this if you had standard hook ups available. Does that help? It is a dandy gadget that allows me to clean and dump easily at my convenience at home on my Rv pad, Vs holding up a line at a gas station...

The amount of flow is proportional to the pressure of the water. My CleanFLO works as well as any of the other faucets in our house. If your CleanFLO is not discharging as much water as the rest of your faucets, I would look for some obstruction in the faucet.

We did not get it for the pressure. We got it for the ease of cleaning and the size. Our water pressure is fine. We just installed one for my 81 year old mother and she loves it.

I use it as a whole house filter and didn't notice any pressure drop. I'm sure it will as the filter clogs, but nothing now. I only have 35 pounds and it seems the same as before.

Actually I think it improved our water pressure. We have a well and our water pressure is very limited. I think it worked better after I installed the new head. There is a water restrict or inside the head that I removed for our shower and left in for the kids.....I didn't notice a significant diff.
