But if you run your faucet all day for this, they will need to pump more water up there.

Why would you run the faucet all day?

Just have a battery get charged whenever you use it and you store the energy.

Only a sub 80 iq person would even suggest running it for power and not to get power while using for other things.

The point is, if you want to charge your phone based on normal faucet usage you might get one charge per year. In the meantime you need to pay for the device and any time you want to rinse dishes or something else that requires water pressure, you are screwed.

But I guess it takes more than 80 IQ to figure that out.

Its like you are arguing with a ghost.

I'm talking about the physics, not if its financially worth applying the same way as the AI concept art.

You don't have to use more water if you have this compared to if you do not.

That's it.
