Hi there Not sure if this is the correct part of the forum but here goes. I have a Karcher K4 pressure washer. When removing one of the lances the other day the o-ring (the yellow thing that is normall in the bottom of the various lances) became stuck in the gun - meaning I can't change...

Too avoid too many tanks/pipework/space lost internally

@Bodd sorry I do not have a tank in the loft - but I do have more than enough space for one. Seems to be a number of different options based on results - however tempted by the mains refresh

@muggles not sure if I have confused matters. With no taps turned on - and the pressure gauge attached to the outside tap then its 3 bars and with no other taps turned on the flow out of the outside tap is 10.07litres When a tap in the house is left on and then the pressure gauge is attached...

Hi all Finally got the right bits of kit to test everything at the outdoor tap. With no other taps on; Pressure 2.75-3 Bar Flow Rate 10.07litres per min - which is about 2-2.5 higher than the kitchen With the tap in the garage fully opened; Pressure 1Bar - just! Flow rate down to...

Thank you all. As my local B&Q is one of the ones that is trialing opening this week I will try and pop down and get a proper pressure gauge, as opposed to the DIY option of a bucket and iphone timer and get some proper readings on here. One of the conversations I have had separately over the...

Thanks Madrab sorry in my head the potential solution was; - Cold water in attic - Hot water in a space upstairs - Both then pump into the upstairs bathrooms (i guess ideally they would only feed the showers and bath but pressume this isn't possible) I guess the risk with this approach is that...

@oldbuffer thank you for the futher response. I will try the outside tap tomorrow to see if the flow rate outside is much higher. In your opinion which solution works best - from reading around it I am leaning towards the CWSC in the loft (we have a large loft and high pitch so shouldn't have...

Hi all Thank you for the responses - as suspected a bit of a minefield. To give context on the house; - 1970's with it's own feed (i pressume) from the street - every house has its own stop cock out on the pavement. I know one poster suggested digging up the drains and increasing the size of...

Hi all, First time poster here looking for advice as to how we can increase the water pressure in our home, or at least in some parts of it. The water pressure in our area is very low, although meets relevant requirements, so we end up with issues if someone runs a sink downstairs and someone...
