look at the gpm on the faucet opening ( where the areator is at the end) GPM stands for gallons per minute. you can calculate it and tell him just what an idiot he is! 33% 2 Votes

• None. The water went down the drain to either your septic system or the sewage treatment plant and it%26#039;ll rejoin all it%26#039;s water friends somewhere else in the water cycle. He wasted the time and energy it took to make it usable (if in a city water system), to pump it to his bathroom, and a whole lot of money if you%26#039;re on a meter. 17% 1 Vote
• Normal water flow in a household plumbing system is around 1 to 2 gallons a minute.
  
  Let%26#039;s see:
  
  16 hours times 60 minutes per hour times 2 gallons per minute is about 2,000 gallons.
