How to Test My Water Pressure
Testing Procedure
The tap which is to be used for the irrigation will need to be tested.
- Assemble the Pressure Test Kit as shown in the images below
- Connect the tester kit to the tap, a standard 20mm thread
- Open the valve on the tester and turn the tap on fully open
- Time how long it takes to fill a measured bucket
- Record the pressure on the gauge, it should read close to zero
- Turn the valve on the tester off and record the pressure on the gauge
- Turn the valve off and then open slowly, until the gauge reads 1.5 bar, measure the time it takes to fill the bucket and record
- Repeat this with the gauge reading 2.5 and 3.5 bar
