Low water pressure in the apartment
Hi,
I recently purchased a coop apartment in NYC and live on the top floor (17th). The water pressure in the apartment is low . I asked the super to look into it and he said that because we are on the 17th floor the water pressure is low and there is nothing that can be done about it. I would really appreciate if anyone can give any suggestions as to how to increase the water pressure in the apartment or atleast for the showers . I have even removed the blocking from behind the showers but still its low. Thanks Ron |

Have you been to their apts to see what the flow is like? If what the super is saying is true, it sounds like this is a known problem. If people on that floor and above have inadequate pressure, you should get together and let the coop board know about it, as it is their problem to fix. As an alternate solution, I guess you could put a booster pump on the line where it enters your apt. |

ALthough OP might LIKE the pressure to be higher, the current pressure may indeed be ADEQUATE for all the normal functions of life. Reply to NG only - this e.mail address goes to a kill file. |
