water pressure problems

When it comes to the topic of water pressure problems, there are several issues that homeowners may encounter. These can include low water pressure, high water pressure, or fluctuating water pressure.

Low Water Pressure

There are several possible causes of low water pressure, including blocked pipes, a faulty valvepressure regulator, or a malfunctioning water pump. Mark above can inspect your water system, isolate the problem and remediate. If this is on your hot water system, the best option may be to change from a low pressure to a mains pressure system, such as an infinity, or a mains pressure hot water cylinder.

High Water Pressure

High water pressure can cause damage to appliances, faucets, and even the plumbing system itself. You can install a pressure-reducing valve to regulate the pressure and protect thetheir plumbing system from damage. This is an easy cost effective fix, however it is important to have a plumber come to assess the issue first to ensure this is the right solution for you.

Fluctuating Water Pressure

Fluctuating water pressure can be caused by several factors, including changes in demand, incorrect water pipe sizes, or a block in the pipes. You can install a pressure-reducing valve to regulate the pressure and prevent fluctuations. Regular maintenance of the plumbing system can also help prevent blocks and other issues that can cause fluctuations in water pressure.
