Have you ever felt troublesome in the process of using water such as water is not enough for the washing machine to function, or water cannot be pushed into electric water heater, etc. One of the reasons of the problem is low water pressure. It may be due to congestion, insufficient water storage or sometimes water leakage, etc. So how to deal with low water pressure, MEC engineers will give you some tips to overcome this matter.

Firstly, water tanks with small capacity are installed at inconsiderable higher position than below devices such as faucets, electric water heaters, etc., which causes low water pressure. Occupants just need to raise the capacity of the water tank and move them to a higher position.

Secondly, MEC engineers find that plumbing system is one of the reasons of low water pressure. There are plumbing fixtures with insufficient flow and pressure in buildings. Clogged pipes are often found in old water systems where accumulation of rust and sediment over time causes a drastic reduction in the internal diameter of pipes, occasionally blocking pipes completely. The piping can sometimes be cleaned and restored, but may need a replacement if the damage is extensive.

Thirdly, low water pressure is due to a small main piping system, pipelines going into devices or the winding water pipeline system leads to loss pressure along the way. This is a mistake right from the first day of installing the water system. In the design and construction process, we need to consider the performance of the water supply pipelines in the present and the future of expanding the use of water equipments. Occupants can improve and upgrade the water supply system. However this is quite complicated and expensive. Therefore, MEC engineers always install a booster pump for the whole system. The installation of pumps is simple and much more economical than replacing the whole piping system.

With these recommendations from MEC for solving low water pressure, MEC believes that water systems in our projects will satisfy all clients. MEC is well-known for service quality and prestige with many years experience in mechanical, electrical and plumbing fields, MEC will meet the demands and bring convenience and modernity for every project.
