DO WATERTANKS AFFECT WATER PRESSURE?

One of the most frequently faced challenges we encounter in our work with watertanks is dealing with water pressure issues. Although our services do not look at it in a direct way, the pressure at the site where we are installing a tank does have a significant bearing on what arrangements we need to make. It is the professional skill and expertise that we have in this area which has made us one of the most sought after names in the business for work with watertanks. A recurring question we are asked is whether or not changing the size of a tank would help boost or improve the overall level of water pressure in a property. The very short answer to this is no. We can understand why some would believe it would, as in theory the increased mass and volume within a larger tank should result in an increase. There is a bearing which watertanks can have on your water pressure. One of the major causes of low pressures is a blockage within the plumbing of a property. As an integral part of the plumbing system within a property, it is of course always possible that such a blockage could occur in the pipes leading to and from the tank. This is something we would be able to establish for you as part of our comprehensive survey work. The most common cause of water pressure problems are, however, usually down to a leak or blockage in the pipes which bring resources into your property. If you’re experiencing issues then it is a good opportunity to have us check on your tank. It might not be the cause of the problem, but looking at whilst you’re having the rest of your system looked at makes a good deal of sense.
