We sure are lucky to have fresh water pumped into our homes daily without giving it a second thought. That doesn’t mean it always comes in the right way, though. The water flowing into your home should be at a certain pressure to assure that everything goes smoothly, and it could cause you some problems if it isn’t right. Here are a few ways to tell if your home’s water pressure is too low.
Your toilet doesn’t fill up quickly
There isn’t much water in your toilet, but if it is taking a long time for the water to come back up and fill the bowl and the cistern, then you might have a bit of a problem. Since this is one of the more common areas of the home for water use, it should be one of the first things that you notice.
Your shower isn’t blasting water
We all want to conserve water as best we can, but it is still necessary to have a shower that works well. We normally want it to be pouring water on us at high rate so that we may wash away the dirt of a long day. If yours is taking a long time to start up or isn’t pushing a lot of water on to you while you are inside, then it could be signs that there is a problem.
Cold water is coming out of the faucet slowly
This is true of almost all taps in the home but especially true of your kitchen sink. If the cold water is running slowly or has difficult coming out of the faucet, then it could be a sign that the pressure is too low. The reason cold water is a better indicator is because problems with warm water might be from the hot water heater.
Making sure that everything is working properly is essential to being comfortable in your home. If there is something wrong with the water, then things won’t be very enjoyable. If your water pressure is too low, then call the professionals at Mattioni Plumbing to come out and fix it so that you can get back to normal.
