A collection of some of the best performing low water-pressure taps - all available at amazing prices.

You turn the head of your new low-pressure tap and thanks to this helpful guide, you know what your mains water pressure is and avoid the embarrassment of watching a weak drip of water flop uselessly from the spout.

How Do I Find out My Water Pressure?

A good start is to know what water pressure system you have.

(To be 100% certain, your water provider may be able to send someone out free of charge for you. If not, a plumber can check for you using a pressure gauge)

  • Gravity Systems

    - Low pressure system with a cold water storage tank and a hot water cylinder

    - Typically, the water pressure in your first-floor bathroom will be around 0.2 bar or less, and a ground floor kitchen may well be 0.5 bar

  • Combi Boilers

    - High pressure system

    - Heats water coming in at mains pressure

    - Typically your water pressure will be around 1-2 bar, more than enough for 95% of the taps and showers available today

  • Unvented Water Cylinder (System Boilers)

    - High pressure system

    - Water is kept under pressure by the incoming mains pressure, and then typically indirectly heated by a boiler or solar panels

    - Can choose any brassware you want
