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!

Chrome Kitchen Tap

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. 

 

1. Bristan Monza Easy Fit Monobloc Kitchen Sink Mixer

Bristan is a great brand for low pressure kitchen taps. With an operating capacity of anywhere between 0.3 bar to 5.0 bar, The Bristan Monza Easy Fit Monobloc Kitchen Sink Mixer is a great kitchen tap for pressures low, medium and high.

 

2. Alberta Modern Brushed Brass Single Lever Kitchen Mixer Tap

If you’re looking for a single lever kitchen tap but in a unique design, the Alberta Modern Brushed Brass Single Lever Kitchen Mixer Tap is a stunning option. Due to its minimalistic single lever design, it’s ideal for small kitchen spaces. It has a pressure requirement of 0.3 bar and with its brushed brass finish you’ll be able to enjoy a low pressure kitchen tap with a sleek design.

 

3. Bristan Pistachio Black Easyfit Monobloc Kitchen Sink Mixer

Want a minimal and sleek design but brushed brass doesn’t fit with your kitchen decor? Matt black is another stylish look for a kitchen tap. The Bristan Pistachio Black Easyfit Monobloc Kitchen Sink Mixer is also nice and compact and can operate on a water pressure of 0.3 bar.

 

4. Chatsworth Antique Brass Traditional Bridge Lever Kitchen Tap

Just because you have low water pressure in your home doesn’t mean you have to give up on incorporating a unique kitchen tap that brings character to your space. There are plenty of bridge kitchen taps that are ideal for low water pressure and the Chatsworth Antique Brass Traditional Bridge Lever Kitchen Tap is a great example of that.

 

5. Edmonton Modern Copper Kitchen Mixer Tap

For another unique style of low pressure kitchen tap, the Edmonton Modern Copper Kitchen Mixer Tap could be used as a great focal point in your kitchen. It requires an operating water pressure of 0.3 bar and comes with a stunning copper finish.

 

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!

 

7. JTP Newbury Matt Black Dual Lever Kitchen Sink Mixer

Another sleek matt black kitchen tap is the JTP Newbury Matt Black Dual Lever Kitchen Sink Mixer. This tap has a dual lever system and features a swivel spout design making it great for double or 1.5 sinks. This tap requires a 0.2 bar water pressure.

 

8. Grohe Start Two Handle Kitchen Sink Mixer

If you want to keep things simple and modern and want a brand that you know will provide a quality design, Grohe has an impressive range of low pressure kitchen and bathroom taps. The Grohe Start Two Handle Kitchen Sink Mixer also has a water pressure requirement of 0.2 bar. It also has some other great features such as being easy to clean thanks to the GROHE StarLight® chrome coating and the GROHE QuickFix Plus system for hassle free installation.

 

9. Reginox Elbe Traditional Dual Lever Kitchen Tap Mixer

Another simple dual lever design is the Reginox Elbe Traditional Dual Lever Kitchen Tap Mixer. With a minimum water pressure of 0.2 bar this is a great option for super low water pressure households who want a standard mixer tap with a traditional twist. 

 

10. Alberta Modern Black Nickel Kitchen Mixer Tap

The colour of your fixtures can play a huge role in your home decor, so if chromes, brass and matt black don’t suit your taste, why not give black nickel a go? This tap features a swivel spout, single lever design and can operate at water pressures starting at 0.3 bar.

So , just because you have a low pressure water system doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on style when it comes to kitchen taps. There are plenty of options available, just be sure to double check with your plumber that the tap you want works with your water system!
