Modern Solutions for Domestic Water Services

In the UK, regulations mandate the installation of pressure-reducing valves and check valves in all new homes, whether apartments or houses, to control water pressure and prevent backflow. In this Continuing Professional Development (CPD) session, we extensively covered the intricate challenge of managing domestic water supplies in high-rise buildings, alongside the pertinent legislation and regulations governing them. The discussion encompassed various strategies for effectively managing water pressure, highlighting the pivotal roles played by pressure-reducing valves and backflow prevention devices in maintaining consistent pressure levels and preserving water quality. Additionally, we examined installation and maintenance considerations unique to high-rise environments, emphasising the need to address accessibility challenges and conduct routine inspections to uphold the reliability and longevity of water systems.
