Merry Christmas to all readers.
No - not a sado - but someone with others who are doing the work - by way of a change - so I can catch up a bit and continue my anti social behaviour :D !
Our mains water pressure is running up to 6 bar and fluctuating.
We live at the bottom of a hill and the house is 24 years old. I suspect it has caused one of the toilet connections to leak through surging to pressures above those recorded. The mega flow is protected by a valve set at 3 bar (I think).
:?: is there a normal bar rating for water supplies to domestic properties please?
Secondly do the Water Companies have any responsibility to the consumer in these matters?
thanx in advance for any suggestions.
 
I am not aware of any maximum water pressure but dont expect it to exceed about 10 Bar.

Most people have a problem from too little pressure.

If yours is regularly too high then you can always fit a pressure reducing valve for the whole house and back it up with a pressure release valve.

Happy Christmas everyone!
