My guess is that the hot water heater is installed downstream from a pressure reducer to limit the maximum water pressure that the water heater is exposed to.

Is high or low pressure cold?

If you mean to ask if cold bodies of water are associated with high or low atmospheric pressure, they aren't. Atmospheric pressure can change independently of the temperature of bodies of water.

Do flowers grow better with cold water or cold water?

Well, between cold water and cold water.... I would have to say, Cold water 1) You mean cold water or hot water, and 2) Neither. I would go for lukewarm water. 1) You mean cold water or hot water, and 2) Neither. I would go for lukewarm water.


Does hot water have more pressure than cold water?

What I mean by that is... If you wash your hair with cold water, have you a better chance of rinsing your hair with less limescale than if you used hot water?


Does cold water has more pressure than hot water?

It depends on how you define "pressure." In general, pressure is the amount of force applied to a particular area. If you are talking about the pressure the water (or any liquid) applies to its container, hot water is indeed "stronger." This is because the molecules of hotter substances move more rapidly, and in all directions - including "outside." (In fact, this rapid movement of molecules is precisely what temperature is.)On the other hand, if "inner" pressure is what concerns you, cold water (orcold anything) is stronger, for the converse reason - the molecules are moving more slowly and staying more "together." Hence, cold weather is of a higher pressure than hot.This phenomenon is naturally related to the two other phases of water - if the water becomes cold enough, its molecules more or less stop moving altogether and it freezes into ice (and no situation is of greater pressure than getting frozen!) whereas if it moves rapidly enough, the molecules' bonds will break apart more or less altogether, and it will evaporate into steam (which has enough pressure to power a locomotive piston!).

Why does lowered air pressure allow water to boil at room temperature?

Less force pushes down on the liquid, making it easier for gas to escape

What does water pressure mean?

Water pressure refers to the pressure of water in a system. In a home it will be 30-50 psi typically and this is governed by the municipal pressure or by a well tank.


How does water temperature effect water pressure?

Type your answer here... temerature? I think you mean temperature well anyway when water is cold it is less expanded then when its hot only of course as a liquid. When water is heated up, it expands ex specially when it turns to steam as I found out. If you have 100 feet of 1/2 pipe full of water at 60 degrees F and you heat it up to 130 degrees F the pressure varies from what kind of pipe to what kind of water but both will show a high change of pressure. Most new waterheaters recommend expansion tanks to allow the change of water temp which makes pressure to absorb to.
