Lowyat members, Need help to solve my problem here.
I'm staying at 18th floor, top floor of my condo. As all are aware, top floor will definitively have low water pressure. Need some advise on if there is any solution for it? Thanks.
Anyone know if water pump allow in condo?

ask management to adjust, if still no difference then install pump. cost around rm1000 should be good enough.

Low water pressure is in the package, so you can't complaint.

Basically its just a pressure pump u install it after the water meter. Water source will be boosted to your piping network

Before water meter, it is connected to PBA (whatever). So if you put pump there, means you pull up the distributed water to the area to yourself. This is illegal. You must put after water tank

I'm not sure if each unit has tank. Even low cost flat has water tank in each unit but located just above the bathroom. Not much pressure there Probably you can gather all the tenants with similar problem. Got leader there? Complaint to management and if still no action can change to new management. I dunno the situation of condo there
