Hint: we can measure the volume of water flowing out of the faucet in m^3 (that is, meters cubed), and the time in s (that is, seconds)

You can also measure the flow rate as mass per unit time, and that would be
kg/s (kilograms per second).

(chuckles) Or you could measure it in the Heaviside-Lorentz system (a subdivision of the SI system) where it would be unitless.
