High pressure

When running your cold tap, you may notice a strong spurt of water. This is known as high pressure.

You can fit a pressure reducing valve anywhere on your own pipework or property, either internally at the point of entry to your property or externally on your supply pipe. This reduces the water pressure, often without affecting your water flow rate. A WaterSafe approved plumber can fit this for you. 

There is no maximum legal requirement for water pressure or flow, and we are unlikely to be able to reduce this quickly.
