How to solve this problem?

Haha, cant be solve. unless u move to condo.

What is your bypass pressure

i think don't need bypass meter.
because this meter is before enter into water filter one.
Wei kee ur house at USJ right? how's the pressure figure?

Can solve, just allow a suction tank and transfer pump.

Can explain how to do it?

OK. Not the best but still reasonable. I don't have meter to measure but is acceptable.

OK.. maybe i will take a video and show u here for my kitchen tap (direct water).

After the water meter, just allow a water tank (normally 1/3 of total water storage capacity) and a transfer pump from that water tank outlet to internal water storage tank (normally 2/3 capacity) and kitchen.

i totally dun understand.
are u using a suction pump?

Transfer pump = suction pump
My house Syabas pressure more than enough... so I don't use any pump for this purpose.

what's the problem with the pressure? this is around 2,5 bar isnt it? dont think incoming syabas is higher than that. if your flow is low then you need to check what limits the flow.

Its actually 1.7 bar. But wt that pressure u can shoot water 17 meter up.. its more than enough for ur daily consumption. Unless it drop significantly after d filter n thru ur piping system. Then u need to check.

This is considered pretty decent already. Happy Garden, Old Klang Road, I am only getting about 25 psi maximum.

OK guys.
Maybe i am keep comparing with my current condo here.
Maybe i think too much.

But i will request syabas to change my before meter pipe as it looks rusted already.

That one need to hack and dig. Consider major.

Sovietmah, where can I buy the pressure gauge ?

i got mine foc from the rocket filter... my area max 30psi/ min 22psi, called syabas was told 30psi @ meter is consider up to their std

One of my customer got 75 psi Pressure stronger than the grundfos pumps that i m selling

Rusted pipe got nothing to do with pressure but more to do with flow

Ya. I bought the water filter from Builders Hardware Zheilwane.
they come with the water pressure meter as well as include installation.

Ya OK.
The syabas guy told me the same thing too.
I hope if I ON 2 kitchen tap the water flow still up to 80% speed, rather than now like 50% / 50%

Install after meter?

He didnt install pump at meter, the pressure is direct from syabas

My Hse in Seri Kembangan achieved 2.9bars from Syabas piping

What is the idea or correct pressure?

Too high will burst the pipe and waste water.

I think within 3-4 is OK for a direct pipe from meter.

my plumber also say have 3 bar enough.

Condo i think 4-5 bar.

Generally Condo is 4~5 bar that explain why 18 storey condo level 1 ~4 and 10~14 will face water pipe leakage in in their units.

Use pressure control valve if pressure too high.

Good for ground floor, when up the roof for solar water heater it gets down to 1.5 bar to 2 bar, not ideal for rain shower. Still need a pump if you really want to enjoy shower. Worst when someone open another tap at ground floor when you shower.

Yes you are right

Agreed with you.

What is Syabas Water Pressure Std for 2-Sty House
my house showing 21psi
is that normal?
any way to increase the pressure?
20 yr hse with rusted pipe
