That's a heck of a lot of pressure. 1 to 1.5 bar is normal in the UK at your kitchen tap. Peeps who buy their white goods in the UK and then plumb them in in France sometimes have problems as, if there is no pressure reducer fitted from the main, it does them no good. It can be up to 7 bar here.

When we first moved in we had no electric and the water pipes all just came out of the floors or the walls, not capped at all, so to fill the loo and/or flush it, I fitted a watering hose to the main at the meter. When I triggered it it was like a fire hose!!

Plus the last thing you want to be doing is wasting it.
The uk mains is a lot higher than 1 to 1.5 bar most mains is about 3 to 5 bar often with a pressure reduction valve, at 1 bar all these megaflow systems and combi boilers would not work very well at all, i have seen over 10bar blow me gauge of the tap.
 
i have just fitted two of those pumps to mine and my mates caravans and they work fine as they are, we were sick off the outboard pumps you drop in the barrel and cost £60 the new pumps were £20 each of jeffs emporium .
we have to not open the tap so much or we will run out of water to quick :vb-biggrin: its nice to have a proper shower and not a two liter a min dribble.

Well I hiz no plumberist, but this is what I have read. Maybe the person witing it had no idea, maybe he meant it was reduced to this.
Edit, only just realised who was writing this! Oops! The proper plumberist has spoken, so now I will proceed to the bottom of the garden and eat worms!!! (Along with my own words!):oops:

Just for a laugh here is where I got it from but, as I tend to do sometimes, I didn't read to the end of the thread, or in this case the article.
