    Garden tap low pressure and hissing

    I’ve just noticed my outside tap is making a sort of hissing sound and the pressure doesn’t seem as good as it was. It has much less power coming out of the hose pipe.

    Closed loop pressure increasing

    Just wondering if anyone has even seen an issue with the pressure gradually increasing on a closed loop system where there is no fill loop attached.

    Can you increase water pressure to your home?

    I have a unit (1 of 3), and mine is furtherest from the road. I have fairly crap water pressure and have had the water corp out, who agree its crap, but claim its due to the distance from the mains. Is there something that can be done to increase water pressure?
