Water Pressure

Commercial Water Pressure Solutions

Optimise Your Commercial Water Pressure, Expert Plumbing Services, Auckland

Topline provide tailored water pressure solutions for commercial and industrial customers across Auckland. Having water pressure too high OR too low can be equally problematic. At Topline we understand the importance of optimal water pressure as a crucial measure in maintaining operational efficiency, the longevity of plumbing fittings & fixtures, cost savings and the comfort of staff and customers.

Topline’s Water Pressure Services

We can help by inspecting, servicing, maintaining, and repairing your system to ensure your water pressure has an optimal output flow from all fixtures. We can also advise on suitable replacement solutions if required and if your demands have changed, we can recommend an upgrade solution.

Signs there is a Water Pressure Issue

Just a few of the indicators water pressure is too high or too low include:

Unable to maintain waterflow if multiple fixtures on
Fluctuating water pressure
Noisy banging or hammering pipes
Water leaks around faucets and pipe joins
Inconsistent or delayed hot water
Problems running dishwashers or washing machines

What is the Optimal Water Flow Rate?

Water pressure should be approximately between 350kPa and 500kPa at the fixture or tapware, however the way to achieve this for each site will vary according to demand. This range ensures adequate flow without risking damage to your plumbing system.

Problems with High or Low Water Pressure

Either extreme can cause major issues such as appliance, fixture and faucet damage, pipe leaks, water wastage, and reduced fixture performance. Troubleshooting and understanding the causes such as inadequate source flow, faulty regulators or blockages is key to resolving these problems.

Improving Water Flow Rate

There is a variety of ways we can help. If your water pressure is too high, we may recommend pressure regulators or flow restrictors, or adjust the pressure value. If your water pressure is too low, we may check plumbing, clear sediment from pipes, add in pressure booster pumps, or recommend converting from low to mains pressure to increase water flow rate.

Water Audits & Reports

Did you know Topline can provide a water audit to check the water pressure and temperature of your commercial property. Being proactive can save time and money in the future by identifying issues before they fail and cause disruption. For example, a minor tweak, adjustment, or part replacement may be the only thing required to ensure your water system is operating optimally.

Converting from low to mains pressure

Water pressure requirements will vary from site to site with factors such as system set up, pipe size, height of building, booster pumps and pressure restrictors all impacting the final output pressure. Probably the most important factor is the water pressure load demand required for each property – how many taps or appliances need to be drawing and outputting water at the same time.

Types of Water Pressure

Mains Water Pressure
Strong consistent pressure sourced directly from mains water supply
Unequal Water Pressure
Strong mains pressure cold water paired with a low pressure hot water system providing a low pressure hot water supply
Equal Low Water Pressure
A consistent but low pressure that may not meet the demands of a commercial environment

Upgrading from Low Pressure to Mains Pressure

If you are currently relying on low pressure, upgrading to mains pressure can significantly improve water flow and performance. Our team specialises in seamless transitions to mains pressure systems.
