Top 10 Low Pressure Kitchen Taps

Low pressure kitchen taps are specifically designed for homes with low pressure water systems. Check out our list of the top 10 low pressure kitchen taps!

Low water pressure can be a hassle when you want to replace your brassware and fixtures. It’s imperative that if your water system is low pressure that you purchase a low pressure kitchen tap. These taps are specifically designed to work with low pressure systems, such as gravity fed systems. So, how do you know what kitchen taps are low pressure, and what styles are available? 

Well, just like our list of top low pressure bathroom taps, we have a list of our top 10 low pressure kitchen taps! It’s important to note that anything above 1.0 bar is considered high water pressure and anything 0.3 bar and below is considered low water pressure. Anything in between is a bit of a grey area when it comes to water pressure as most systems will either be above 1.0 or below 0.3.

6. Rangemaster Geo Trend 4-in-1 Instant Boiling Hot Water Tap

Instant boiling water taps have become incredibly popular in homes over the last year or so. Their impressive design allows for boiling water on demand, straight out of the tap, eliminating the need for a kettle. Whilst they are great for many homes, the current designs on the market are not ideal for low pressure homes. 

The Rangemaster Geo Trend 4-in-1 Instant Boiling Hot Water Tap requires 0.5 bar to operate. So whilst this tap is not reserved only to high water pressure homes, it may not be perfect for homes with super low pressure. If you have a  low pressure gravity fed water system and this tap is being installed on the ground floor of your home this will likely be a good fit, but it’s always good to check with a professional before installation!
