Lee Ming Chang 10/11/2017 8:07 PMInteresting idea, i should do the same to my apartment -
Roy Low 10/10/2017 9:41 PMWith higher pressure, more water will gush out from your tap. Hence increase water consumption. This is extremely useful for washing or bathing. -
Gavin Roberts 10/10/2017 9:07 PMJust curious what is the advantage of lower water pressure in a modern style house? Like one with primarily Energy effect appliances?
