Water Pressure Problems Fixed First Time
Years of poor water pressure at a busy Southampton venue were traced back to the system itself — not the pump everyone expected it to need.
Years of attempted fixes. Time to find the actual cause.
Winstons had traded for years with recurring water-supply and pressure problems affecting staff and guests.
A conventional response could have involved bulk water storage and variable-speed pumps. Instead, Hi-Tech's designer surveyed the property and found that the incoming flow and pressure were already reasonably close to the proposed design requirement.
That shifted the investigation away from adding machinery and towards the existing distribution pipework.
Solve the system, not the symptom.
The root cause was traced to years of piecemeal alterations and undersized pipework.
Phase 1 upgraded the incoming main from the boundary stopcock to the cellar using 35 mm Mappress copper, added a potable expansion vessel and rerouted mains cold and tank-fed ground-floor services.
The project was planned around the property, the customer and the operational environment.
The work in context.

Phase 1 worked — so phases 2 and 3 were not needed.
The first phase resolved the longstanding water supply and pressure issues.
Because the measured solution worked, the client avoided unnecessary expenditure on an over-specified pump arrangement.
