Steam regulators provide accurate readings, stable pressure control, and minimize piping costs to maximize system efficiency for a variety of boiler systems like industrial oil refinery boilers, chemical production plants or processing systems.

Customers who receive water pressure outside the standard pressure range are exempt from the requirements of the licence and are responsible for managing their own water pressure.

The amount of pressure at your tap depends on how high the service reservoir or water tower is above your home. Properties at the top of a hill may have a different pressure to properties lower on the hill. High pressure can be a result of being lower on a hill and/or situated below a reservoir or water tower.

Pressure is the force which pushes water through pipes and determines the flow of water from the tap. It can vary due varies due to the topography of the land, water flow and age of the scheme.

A water pressure exemption notification is included on your Landgate Property Interest Report. This helps prospective buyers determine if a property receives non standard water pressure.

The life expectancy of the PRV is about five years. As the PRV starts to decline, over time customers may notice a change in water pressure in the household taps, fixtures and garden reticulation system.

Plumbing fixtures and household appliances are designed to operate within particular water pressure specifications. Damage can be caused to pipes and appliances where water pressure specifications are exceeded.

If you have purchased a property, have been newly identified as having non-standard water pressure or are an existing non-standard water pressure customer with a pressure reduction valve installed, you'll receive a notification.

The effects of low pressure are fairly obvious when you turn on your tap. The biggest effect is the flow rate of your water supply. For example, it will take you longer to fill up a bath or sink compared to someone with higher pressure.

A pressure reduction valve (PRV) reduces water pressure from the water supply main. Water entering the valve is constricted within the valve body and controlled by an adjustable spring which can provide a consistent water pressure up to 50 meters head (mH). This pressure range aligns with industry plumbing standards for domestic appliances.

As per the Water Services Licence, we are required to provide customers standard water pressure between 15 to 100 metres head (mH) in the Perth metropolitan area and 13 to 100mH in regional areas. Metres head is the measurement used to determine water pressure, which refers to the height water can rise vertically when a connection is made to a pipe.

Under our Water Services Licence, we deliver water pressure within a standard range of 15 to 100 metres head (mH) in the metropolitan area, and 13 to 100mH in regional areas. Metres head is the measurement used to determine water pressure, which refers to the height (head) which water rises vertically in a pipe.

If you are interested in reducing the water pressure to your entire property, please register your details and we'll contact you to discuss your options.

High water pressure can increase the occurrence of leaks and bursts. It can also potentially shorten the life of appliances and plumbing fixtures.
