What is your water
pressure like?
The power of your tap or shower greatly depends upon your water pressure. You can check your water pressure yourself using
a pressure gauge, but it may be easier and safer to call in a professional.
At VictoriaPlum.com all our showers
and taps are manufactured to the highest possible standards, with a range of options to choose. Our experienced team will be able to recommend the best product for your water pressure too.
Which water system do
you have?
UK homes are generally built with one of three types of water system.
Unvented hot water system
A water cylinder is heated by an immersion heater or boiler under high pressure, creating large volumes of hot water. These are becoming more popular in the UK and can deliver around 2.0 to 3.0 bar* of pressure.
Combination boiler
A boiler with no tanks or water cylinders designed to heat water as and when you use it. Combination boilers generally provide
the highest possible water pressure and are usually set to operate between about 0.8 to 1.5 bar*.
Gravity system
This usually involves a cold water tank in the loft space and water cylinder, sometimes incorporating a pump. You can get a basic guide to the pressure delivered by measuring the distance between the bottom of the loft tank and the tap or shower. E.g. if the tank is 1m above the level of the tap or shower, the water pressure will be 0.1 bar*. If it’s 5m, the water pressure would be 0.5 bar*.
A VictoriaPlum.com shower pump can be used to boost the water pressure in your home and provide su cient pressure for up to 3 showers.
*In all cases, pressure can vary depending on the complexity and length of pipe work between your boiler/tank and your tap/ shower. In addition, you must not add
a pump to a combi boiler or unvented/ pressurised system.
