And you know what the water pressure in the water should be in your apartment ?

Know the rules on the water pressure at the entrance to the apartment need to master each.If this rule is not satisfied, it is possible to raise the issue of the poor quality of services (water supply), for which we are paying even quite "high quality."But we should not confuse the inlet water pressure to the pressure of the water at the tap.

should start with the fact that the water supplied to the house water supply organization, and already inside the house with the help of utilities bred on the entrances, risers and brought to each apartment.Normally, these were revised numerous times, and even officials sometimes get confused trying to explain.Sometimes all the "bring down in a heap."The fact that such a rule exists separately in each region, and it depends on many factors - for example, from the number of storeys the house and the number of apartments (ie "consumers"), from the floor on which the apartment is located.Therefore, this figure is quite individual.Moreover, it is not known how many valves are open at the moment around the house.

Nevertheless, the approximate water pressure in the water all the apartments can be found - should be guided to such a figure.Water pressure from the mixer should be at least 2 atmospheres - then tap the water will go fine.However, the allowable pressure in the water - 6 atmospheres.Greater pressure can "break" the weaknesses in the system.2 atmosphere enough for washing, dishwasher.

If you do not like the water pressure, you must first decide in general - who is to blame?Need to ask the neighbors on the landing, they have.If the neighbors everything is normal, then the house water is supplied normally.After that, it is necessary to ask the neighbors water pressure through the riser - top and bottom.Then it will be clear - a fault in the riser or in the apartment.There may be "guilty" of the pipe, inlet filter, inlet valve (not fully open passage opening).It is necessary to compare the pressure of water in the different rooms of the apartment (kitchen, bathroom, in the toilet cistern).
