Here we will talk about 5 reasons why your home has low water pressure.

This could be the issue and to resolve this make sure that the valve handle is fully turned and is parallel to the pipe.

As the name suggests, a pressure regulator controls the water pressure throughout the home. Only a professional plumber can fix the issue, so waste no time and call a professional plumber in Dubai to fit it safely.
