Best just take out the flexi hose, and try the water pressure without the hose. Sometime the flexi hose is blocked, and some flexi hose have a small wire mesh in between.
Low Water Pressure

QUOTE(ozak @ Nov 24 2014, 09:17 AM) This is pretty std plumbing for house in here. GI is for high pressure. While PVC is for low pressure. Standard Sybas pumpling is steel pipeares mandatory for connecting after the Meter. Hence you see most of the old house use GI, because is the cheapest compare to copper and SS pipe. Your house is about same age as mind. I map my whole house plumbing system and modify it before go in. If the plumber can climb, why can't we? My water tank at open rooftop. Climb thousand time. Sometime to enjoy the top view with a nice cold beer while submerge inside the tank.   Of course Sybas take action or not when you use difference pipe is another story. |

QUOTE(ozak @ Nov 24 2014, 10:13 AM) GI also steel ma. GI is already been using for 40yrs or more. Initial is whole house is GI. Than reduce to only main pipe. Than gradually to poly pipe. And sometime I saw ABS or even PVC for the main. Yes, I saw many even new house development using non steel pipe. Which I know is against Syabas regulation. When I apply for the water meter (After the house left empty for >6 months), syabas need you to get their certified contractor and the contractor will advice you to have a Steel pipe after meter. Difference state maybe have difference rules, and you know how good they enforce the law.Wonder later will change to flex hose or not.  But I have been using polyurethane hose with 1 touch fitting for very long. (testing) No problem with the pressure leaking as it can stand for over 10bar for the spec. Very easy work with less tool to fix. |
