Water pressure meter

[lesmuscroft]

Can anyone recommend a water pressure meter,basically to measure my cold water mains.Screwfix have one at £12 quid has anyone tried this and what do you think??????

My question is why do you want one ? I suspect you are checking out a combi boiler performance
if so water volume is what is really at issue.

The screwfix one is fine, just attach it to a washing machine valve. If like centralheatking suggests you are trying to work out flow rates, you need to buy a flow cup Flow Measure Cup

No I am just wanting to check the cold water pressure for the shower mixer,may be I don't need one at this time as indubitably i will need a pressure reducing valve

I've a Screwfix one too and it's fine. You can also attach it to an outside tap if you can't be bothered to move the washing machine.
