I’m just curious if you know the answer: does the regulator attenuate the pressure downwards even if the overall pressure is below the target? Say the pressure at the spigot is 100 psi, but legally must be at 40psi, so the regulator attenuates it down to 40. If you divide it into the two shower heads, will the regulators simply attenuate it down to 40 psi, or cut it down to something like 20 psi?
Anecdotally, one head w/ regulator at the start of the project vs 2 heads w/ regulators near the end of the project made a noticeable dip in pressure from each side. I thought the whole project was a bust - like, it was struggling to even rinse the soap off; but looked up ways to increase the pressure and found out about the regulators in the heads. Popped em out, and problem completely resolved.
You can still regulate the pressure manually too, using the valves on the t-connector. Ours are usually only open around 75% because they were murdering out hot water tank at full blast, and we’d run out of hot water with nearly every shower.

The regulator and water pressure both impact flow rate. Though as they said, remove the regulator and it’s unlikely to be an issue.
