Comfort in the house - it's not just the heat, light and tidiness. Of water depends on the possibility of living and comfort. Weak water pressure at the tap - is the delay of all the processes associated with running water directly, the inability to complete the work the washing machine, water heater, dishwasher and other appliances connected with water.
From what it is and whether it is possible to eliminate on its own? Instructions independent solution to the problem - on.
What does it happen
One of the most common and easily avoidable causes of the weakening of water pressure at the tap - no filter. Crude fine particles from chlorine and rust water enters the mixing mechanism, the filter clogs the nozzle in the valve head, an aerator or the journal box. Determine the cause of easing pressure in this is very simple: when the valve is clogged in one room, all other faucets are working normally.
Another reason - the mash in the water pipe. In almost all cities of the former Soviet Union, the old city communications have been laid before the 2nd World War. Ancient cast-iron pipes are rotting and crumbling from disrepair directly underground. Gusts in decks and on the lines of most cities - not news. But how can it be related to the problem in the apartment?
In order to avoid the rush on the line, water utility workers have shut off the water supply valve. When the pressure of water coming through the pipe abruptly stops within a vacuum. If the tube is present gust or smallest crack, this vacuum inside the pipe tightens all around it can be: ground roots, some small litter, etc.
Not always the filters installed on the water supply units can cope with such rubbish. And not all filters are efficient. Rust particles, sludge, garbage, sludge stuck in the filter aqueduct or completely overlap a fitting or tube, depriving the element bandwidth.
Also a factor weakening the water pressure from the tap can be a decrease in water pressure in the central water supply. In this case, at the cause of the house and can not go. Typically, this may be the failure of a central pumping station Gorvodokanal or stronger impulse provoking violation sealing water pipes.
Most rare cause attenuation in the tap water pressure - certain errors in the apparatus the water supply line. Wrong choice of pipe diameter when interfacing or too much of their length - the most common mistakes novice master.
Increase the pressure at the tap - step by step guide
Ability to self-interference depends on the reason water pressure drop. If all the taps in your home work properly, and a weak pressure is observed in only one of them need to clean or replace the filter aerator.
Step 1. Take the wrench and unscrew the aerator from the spout faucet.
Step 2. Open the valve without the aerator. If the problem is dried up - wash nozzle Aerator under running water or install a new filter.
Step 3. Fasten the aerator in place, check the availability of the system.
If this method did not work, but all other valves are working properly, the problem lies deeper. To eliminate it, you need to unscrew the valve or faucet lever, unscrew the retaining stopper. Then, remove the locking mechanism, and to cleanse it from flying. After assembling the crane check system performance. As a rule, 9 times out of 10 it works.
Important! Before any repair work associated with hot or cold water supply do not forget to turn off the tap water supply of the whole house or apartment.
Similar slaughter aerator reason may lie in the nebulizer shower. To this end, the spray itself dismantled and immersed in a bowl of vinegar. The vessel is then heated on a plate to steam generation, and the element is washed with water. You can then collect the souls back, it will work as before. Instead vinegar for these purposes may be used citric acid solution.
More complex cases, for example - the mash water pipes or highway problems already require the intervention of professionals. To save their time to identify failure location to call Jeka staff, you can talk with your neighbors on the riser for the presence of such problems. If they faucets are working properly - it means time to replace the pipe in your apartment.
