Have you bought a water pressure gauge to see what result you are getting? I bought one for £30 and well worth it if I ever move house and want to know what the pressure is.

Have you checked the stop cocks in the house and out on the street - maybe not fully open

Contact your water company to find out why? They may come back saying it should be the same then you can look in house.

We use a buffer tank, ie, IBC, 1000 lts, run the water into that and then the RO system, sucks the water from that tank, and into the Holding tank
