A Guide to Increasing the Water Pressure in Washing Machines

Boosting water pressure in your washing machine can lead to more efficient wash cycles, shorter washing times, and better cleaning results. Actions such as inspecting hoses for blockages or installing a water pressure booster can make a significant impact.

Understanding RPM in washing machines

Understanding the RPM features in washing machines is essential for efficient laundry care. A higher RPM means that clothes are dried faster, reducing both energy consumption and time spent on laundry chores. For a more comprehensive understanding of how RPM impacts the care of various fabrics and the importance of selecting the right RPM.

How do you know if you have low water pressure

• Long filling times: If your washing machine takes longer than expected to fill up, this is a clear sign of low water pressure.

• Weak flow at taps: Notice if the water only trickles out of faucets or shower heads.

• Slow-filling toilets: If it takes more time for the toilet tank to refill after flushing, it may indicate low water pressure.

• Impact on appliances: Appliances that use water, like dishwashers and washing machines, may operate less efficiently.

What causes low water pressure

• Old, corroded pipes: Ageing or corroded plumbing can restrict water flow, causing lower pressure.

• Pipe leaks: Any leaks in your home’s plumbing can reduce the pressure by diverting water from its intended path.

• High demand times: Water pressure can drop during peak usage times in your neighbourhood.

• Faulty fixtures: Blocked or malfunctioning faucets and showerheads can also lead to lower pressure.

• Regulator issues: If the pressure regulator fails, it can either increase or decrease the water pressure unexpectedly.

For homes with low water pressure, a fully automatic washing machine might offer better efficiency and effectiveness with its optimised water usage.

How to increase well water pressure

• Check pump and pressure tank: Ensure that the well pump is adequate for your needs and that the pressure tank is functioning properly. Inadequate equipment can significantly reduce water pressure.

• Install a constant pressure system: A variable speed pump in a constant pressure system can help maintain steady water pressure throughout the home, regardless of simultaneous water use.

• Clear sediments: Regularly clean sediments from the well, pipes, and filters to improve water flow and pressure. Accumulated sediments can obstruct water flow and reduce system efficiency.

• Maintenance checks: Perform regular maintenance to check for leaks and ensure all components of the well system are in optimal condition. This includes the pump, pressure tank, and associated piping.
