Low Water Pressure? Let’s Figure It Out

Is your shower running like a trickle or the kitchen tap taking forever? Let’s help you work out why — especially if you’re on tank water or mains.

Step 1: Where’s the Pressure Low?

  • 🚿 Just one tap or shower = Local blockage (aerator or tap issue).

  • 🏠 Whole house = Mains supply, pump issue, or pressure regulator.

  • 🚰 Only hot water low = Hot water system or tempering valve issue.

  • 🛢️ On tank water? = Might be a pump problem, blocked filters, or low water levels.

💡 Quick tip: Test your outdoor garden tap (closest to mains or pump) — is it strong? That helps narrow it down.

Step 3: Quick DIY Checks You Can Do

  • ✅ Clean out tap aerators or showerheads.

  • ✅ Check filters under your kitchen sink or near pump systems.

  • ✅ Confirm your pump is turning on properly and not cycling on/off.

  • ✅ If on mains, make sure your meter tap is fully open.
