Any high floor occupants here? Need Advice about water pressure

[Raiders]

heater + pumping tank?

This one real advice brother. What he mentioned about the water heater is quite true. Can I ask if its the water heater that gives you low pressure or every tap also the same.
When I move in to my current house, I kept the old heater that the previous owner leave behind. The water pressure was like WTF. In the end, my uncle went to buy a $120 water heater that he personally recommended and used before for me and now, the water pressure is good.

Not only for shower, washing dishes also leh, i think I really need a pump tank

Pai seh, forget to add this. When your personal pump is working, other units without the pump will have a drop in their water pressure cos' now all the water is pump to your unit.

foreign objects may have clogged up the piping in your apartment. try removing the valves to flush them out.

My building just changed water pipe lately, but my apartment water pressure decreases a lot that it took me a longer time to shower or wash something. I talked to the management and said its normal that higher floor = lesser water pressure, they refuse to rectify the problem, wtf....

What can I do?

Compare before and after, it should not be too different. If much weaker now, could there be a leakage or a pump that is below specs? Raise such questions to frighten them.

1) get a water pump
2) change your pipes (inside the house) to a largest one ie internal diameter... usually steel pipes instead of copper pipes starting right from the source on the outside.. convert back to standard size fitting only at each outlet points
3) get a water tank and a scoop to wash yourself..

Better still. You take video while showering and show it to forummers here. It might give bros better ideas to help you.

The first 2 points are alittle hard for him. He is still thinking whether to spend $29.90 on a IT gadget. Dont expect him to adopt the first 2 points. But I love your 3rd point
