The force pushing water through your plumbing pipes is your water pressure. The water pressure determines the water flow in your home and can impact your entire water system.

A sudden increase in the water pressure can cause minor effects like leaking water taps or toilets. The bigger problem is when a plumbing emergency happens, like your pipes burst if you have faulty water pressure and need to be taken care of.

A sudden increase in water pressure can also cause a rise in utility bills. So check the numbers in your water meter. Write down the numbers on the water meter and then recheck them at 2-hour intervals.

High water pressure can damage electrical appliances like heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines. So don’t ignore the increased pressure or low pressure on your water supply.

A slow water flow is the other side of the coin. Low pressure can reduce Sydney water flow to a trickle, and filling a kettle or cistern will take a long time. High pressure and low water pressure are red flags. If you are experiencing low water pressure than usual, there’s something wrong with Sydney water flow. Check your shower and make a note of the water pressure.

What Are The Common Causes Of Low Water Pressure?

To fix low water pressure, you need to know the common causes of water pressure Sydney occurrence.

For instance, there can be a build-up causing a blockage in your water pipes. Or when water demand is high, like mornings when members of your household are preparing to go to work or early evenings when preparing for bedtime, pressure can be lower than during the rest of the day. During dry spells, there can also be problems when people use hosepipes or sprinklers to water their gardens.

The height of your property can also impact your water pressure. If your house is at the top of a hill, you may be experiencing lower water pressure or even no water supply than homes at the bottom.

Other Factors Affecting Water Pressure

  • insufficient pumping facilities
  • small water main
  • serious plumbing issues like leakage, equipment failures, blocked service pipes, blocked drain

Why Is It Important To Install a Pressure Regulator?

Rising or falling water pressure may be due to a malfunctioning pressure regulator. You need to take care of your water pressure. Leaving a faulty water pressure undone may cause even bigger plumbing problems than a dripping faucet, water supply or water leaks. They may ripple effect on your hot water system and plumbing systems in general.

A pressure regulator is not always present in every house. But installing a pressure limiting valve is necessary to maintain a safe pressure level. A damaged control valve can collapse an entire Sydney water system. So if you see a plumbing problem like disruption in the water flow, contact the Sydney water authority or your water supplier and your trusted plumbing experts.
