After some testing my self with and without the PRV, on different taps with pressure gauges all I could get is 2.1 bar and when one tap was opened I’d get 0.75bar maximum but mainly sitting on 0.5bar and sometimes going up to 0.75bar.Īfter speaking to Severn Trent they said maximum pressure in the line is 2.1bar which isn’t great but I guess I can’t do much about apart from continuously complain so they raise the pressure hopefully, another thing they said it shouldn’t drop below 1.5bar and when I mentioned to them that mine was when running he said he would have to raise to his manager. ![]() I’ll start off with from the beginning and they came round first to test my water pressure and flow and said my pressure is fine but he had to do my flow rate on the garden tap which was the very old fashioned hose of an ID of about 8mm and wasn’t really getting the right flow but he said that’s normal for this pipe, he couldn’t come in then due to covid, I asked him how to increase the pressure he mentioned a few things and one of them was lay a new bigger water mains from main pipe to my house so this is all done old pipe is 15mm copper and new one now is 32mm mdpe, this has since been inspected and filled in and connected and the people connecting it were shocking didn’t have tools borrowing our tools, not prepared for the job late, unwilling to do a proper job not having right connection equipment either just shocking anyway it got connected and I had 2.1bar which I was expecting more as I had also placed a pressure regulator in my line to reduce from an expected 6bar or whatever. Looking for some advice on how to get higher pressure from water mains.
