About low pressure and what to do if you're experiencing pressure issues
Check who's responsible for which pipes
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.
If your water pressure is still affected, contact our team and we can help to give you the best advice.
