If your home suffers from poor water pressure then you could be experiencing things such as a weak shower spray, dishes taking forever to clean or a bath that takes so long to fill its cold before you get into it!

The are two ways of boosting your domestic water pressure, you can either boost the entire system or you can boost a specific faucet in your home.
