What to do with a weak water pressure. Detection methods and solutions

Methods for independent decision

If you have a home became a weak pressure of cold water, then logical way, and by process of eliminationYou can identify and eliminate the cause.

The first step is to turn to neighbors, with whom are on the same riser. And to find out, see for yourself what the water pressure from them.

If the neighbors all right with a head and the only problem you have, then proceed to troubleshooting.

Search method simple problems, this division section thereby to narrow the search space.

first

The pressure on the weak points of water consumptionTherefore, the problem area of ​​the riser pipe water supply to the point of branching (the tee) and the point itself branching inclusive.

In this region can be set:

Tee branch from the main line, the stop valve, a pressure reducer, a coarse filter, a water meter, a check valve, a fine mechanical filter, tee branches.

Unscrew the nut on the filter before the water meter fur cleaning, mesh look for dirt, clogged - clean, on-site check.

If the mesh net and when the pressure from the channel is normal, then potential problems: the water meter (inlet grill), a fine mechanical filter, a check valve, tee branches.

Look fine filter fur purification parse include water, if the rate change that cartridge check.

So sharing sites, we find problematic segment and to deal with it.

For example, the pressure is low to a coarse filter and its mesh net, that is, a pressure reducer, a tee and shut-off valve branches from the water supply riser.

second

This is when the pressure is weak only at one point water.

It is easier to start with a mixer, first check the aerator does not work, look at the cartridge and the body of a single-lever mixer or a tap of the upper part in a blender with two taps.

aerator

The channels that can be clogged with deposits as on the teapot - red arrows. On the cartridge, too, need to check for blockage (blue arrows) and the main channel of the spout - green arrow. If clogged, clean, rinse and put in place.

Mixer

As you can see, nothing complicated, the method will solve the problem in 90% of cases, the remaining 10% will remain on the conscience of the pipeline, especially hidden.
