How to increase the water pressure in the water in a private home - all the ways to solve the problem

Dissatisfaction with the pressure of water in the system - consumer problem relating to all, irrespective of place of residence (apartment or a separate building), and property rights.Water in private homes arranged or from an independent source, or connecting to a main thoroughfare.

consider all possible ways to increase the pressure in the circuit, and the reader will determine what needs to be done in relation to your home.Especially since most of the issues can be solved without any imposing material costs.

reasons for the low water pressure in the water

will not increase the pressure in the pipes (which it should be the norm, here), not knowing what caused the decrease in pressure in the water of a private house.But with this and need to start addressing.Consider just about anything is impossible, but there are several types, the most common "fault", you should be aware.

If the water supply of private homes - central, it is possible to reduce the pressure in the system the reason may be in poor performance of the supplier (eg, turning off one of the pumps at the substation in order to save electric / power failure on the track).Before you think about ways to increase the pressure, it should ask the owners of the adjacent buildings did not suffer if they difficulties with water supply.

If this is a common problem, the first thing you need to "pull" public utilities.Reason - SNP position number 4.2.02 of 1984, Government Decree №307 of 2006.Minimum head in a cart to the private home (for a single-storey building) - 1 bar.If there is a 2nd floor - have 2.4.

What to check first

author will present a sequence of actions, your vision of how to solve simple pressurization problem.And what exactly should be done, the reader will understand himself.We believe that if the house is connected to the main thoroughfare, and no claims against public utilities - water is supplied with proper pressure.

Check pump station efficiency

There is nothing complicated, since in its composition has a gauge indicating the pressure in the entrance to the house.If the pressure is below par, will have to make an unscheduled TO pumping "the economy."As a rule, the most likely cause - in the depth of the filter is clogged.When the equipment is going to set their own hands, the task is simplified.The owner (who is also the master) he knows all the weaknesses.

status monitoring Hepa filter

usually means the product entering the building.Often it simply to "hands do not reach."Even more rarely, the owners pay attention to the individual water filters that need to be put on the connection line to the water supply of each appliance.If the same washing machine does not work properly, it does not mean a decrease in pressure in the system.

pressure Checking at all points

should go through the house and check how is the water from every tap.It's one thing when the full opening of all the valves of which only appears weak stream.The reason is clear - the problem in the central tube.Plot - from the pumping station to the node wiring on the premises.The case is extremely rare, especially when the installation of water supply system has been used not "iron" and plastic pipes.

Insufficient pressure of only one crane narrows sector troubleshooting.Firstly, it is necessary to examine that part of the house, in which there is a "thread" of water supply to the valve.The task is the same - check for puddles on the floor.Secondly, if everything is normal, to disassemble the faucet and determine what the problem.Nothing else can be.

methods pressurization artificial

Inclusion of additional pump circuit

pump is selected individually for each water supply systems.Taken into account a number of its parameters - the length of the highway section of the pipe, number of floors at home, and the like.This is - a topic for consideration.But in terms of the recommendations may be advisable to models such as the Russian "Comfort", imported «Grundfos», «UNIPUMP».They showed themselves well in practice, and reviews of the owners of private houses on these pumps - the most favorable.

What to look for when choosing a pump

product price - at the discretion of the reader.From the point of view of expediency of purchase need to be familiar with the three main characteristics of the pump.

only remains to add that such a purchase is not too burdensome.The cost of household pumps that class within the 6900 - 8450 rubles (depending on the performance).In principle, it is possible to manage and cheaper products, since this is not about pumping water from the source (well, well) to the house, but only to raise its pressure.

There is a category of products - "booster pumps".For private homes, which certainly has some equipment that connects to the water supply, such models (despite the attractive price) are not suitable.Arguments number (for example, when you start the washing machine will have to be opened and kept in this position as long as it works, 1 - 2 tap), but believe me, the reader, to the word - there are problems, and serve such a device will not be long.

Partial alteration

water system encouraged "doing everything on their own" in the private sector.This is justified, but not where it needs competent engineering calculations.When installing water supply systems someone is focused on the neighbors, for someone to "authority" - articles and tips from the Internet.

What can be caused by a decrease in pressure?Even if everything is OK, one of the reasons - wrong definition of trunk diameter.The pipe itself is "stealing" pressure.Plus - turns on the track, valves, fittings, expansion / contraction, and the like.

If no other ways to increase the pressure does not help, it makes sense to hire a specialist.Perhaps the solution to the problem - in highway modernization.

Installing accumulator

In the case where a self-assembled system, he was not provided, the installation and connection of the hydraulic accumulator can solve the problem of low pressure.As an option - replaced by another, if used properly it was chosen originally.Incidentally, the larger the volume of the reservoir, the less is the pump.Consequently, increased service life.

What is recommended to do

It is worth recalling that one of the reasons for the automatic termination of manufacturer's warranty for new equipment - a violation of the conditions of its operation.In this case - the discrepancy aqueduct rated operational parameters of the pressure specified in the data sheet.Those who, for whatever reason, does not have at hand the necessary document, the author suggests.

Minimum water pressure (bar) suitable for instrument tubes in which the equipment can operate normally, are:

If from a watering can shower water goes, it does not measure sufficient pressure in the circuit, as the mixer is running and at 1.5 bar.

Even if the pressure in the water does not fall below the "critical" level, should consider is whether to work normally at the same time included two "user" of water.For example, boiler and shower.After taking procedures in the bathroom, the owner can not control how much heat source is stable.Therefore, checking the pressure, it is necessary that any "use" (to open a couple of taps, for example).Especially in summer, when the heating is turned off.The data measuring device will be more objective.

Gentle pressure in the water can "delight" hosts initially.This often happens in a new private house, when everything is installed from scratch.And, as in most cases it happens, with your own hands.The most likely cause low blood pressure - the wrong choice of the model of the pump station or the calculation of its parameters for self-assembly of individual equipment components.

In the sector of intensive development "surprises" E / supply - it is commonplace.voltage derating involves deterioration of the pump, here - and the pressure drop in the water.

Information "for consideration" in excess.Article over details, the author hopes that the reader can gain from it necessarily anything for myself useful.
