What would be the cause of no hot water pressure but the cold water pressure is fine?
There are several possibilities. The 2 most common would be the water heater needs replacing, or you need a repipe.
Why tap on a ground floor of a house flows with much greater speed?
Water comes into your house at ground level. Therefore the pressure will be greater downstairs than up, (gravity) although, there shouldn't be that much differnce. You may have a problem with an airlock or blockage that is slowing the water pressure down by the time it reaches the upper floors of your house. Get a plumber to check it out.
Where will you experience greater pressure swimming in the sea or in the pool at the same depth?
Salt water is more dense than fresh water. The added density adds pressure, so the pressure will be greater at the same depth in salt water. This is also the cause of the increase of buoyancy in saltwater.
Pressure of a nickel causes ice to do what?
If the ice is right at or close to the melting point temperature at ambient pressure, the pressure of a nickel will cause ice to melt and allow the nickel to penetrate into the ice, displacing the melted water as it goes.
What would happen if you threw water into space?
If you threw water into space, intermolecular forces would cause the water to form globules or droplets. Heat would radiate out of these little blobs very quickly, and the water would freeze solid in seconds.
What would cause tank to have good pressure but not allow water to flow through the house?
If it's a bladder tank, it should always have "Air" pressure but if the pump isn't working, you still wouldn't have water in the house.
What causes high water pressure in the first faucet on the water line from where it enters the house. The cold water is under high pressure but other faucets in house are fine.?
Possibly a pressure reducing valve installed after piping for first faucet, which would cause situation describing.
House water pressure?
House water pressure should be around 50-60 psi.
What will cause low water pressure on a residential house with a well?
There are many cause of this, but the primary reasons are in the pressure tank. The tank MUST have residual air pressure of around 27 psi to drive the water system. To analyse further I need to know what kind of tank you have and what air pressure is in it when the water ceases to flow. I need to know what pressure your pump starts and if the tank feels heavy (full of water) when the pressure is low.
What is the Water pressure for homes?
Generally it is about 55 psi . The best way to set it is have a water pressure valve installed on the incoming water line to your house. Too much pressure can cause serious damage to appliances. Water hammer is a comon cause of too much pressure Any Questions e-mail jdroegem@comcast.net
Can the water pressure in the house be too much for a gas hot water tank?
yes and no. usually you want your psi between 65 and 80. otherwise it will cause you problems!!
Would a bad lower element in a waterheater cause low hot water pressure?
It will not cause low water pressure. It will cause a loss of heated water because the heater will not be able to recover fast enough. It has nothing to do with pressure.
What causes water pressure surging in house after pressure regulator?
Sounds like a bad/failed water pressure regulator.
When you turn water on anywhere in house it makes sound for a few seconds it has just started?
Depending on the age of the house, the type of water valves, whether you have a pressure regulator, mineral deposits, type of water meter IF you have a water meter, and all kinds of other issues, it could be lots of stuff. Generally, a water valve can cause a loud, rapid pounding sound if it's going bad. If it's a rapid pounding sound, and it happens when you turn on ANY valve, I'd start with something that's common to all, such as a pressure regulator.
If you have city water do you have whole house water filters that you need to replace?
how do i increase water pressure to the house if you have city water?
Will too much water pressure to the house cause the shower diverter valve to not work properly?
You should not really have over 80 pounds of pressure. But a lot of people do. NO -- even with high pressure it should work ok
What to do if the water pressure in your house is too high?
There is usually a main water valve that comes into the house, locate this valve and turn it down. Installing a pressure reducing valve after water main valve will allow for adjustment of water pressure to proper setting.
