Outdoor tap lost pressure
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.20 PM
Hi. I have used my outdoor tap for many years with no issues, but after using my pressure washer a few times the pressure has become weak and the amount of water coming through now is pitiful! Any ideas on what the issue may be and how to remedy? Thank you. :-)
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

If it is only from the outside tap and the indoor pressure is fine, sounds like the tap washer in the outdoor tap needs replacing. If you struggle to release the washer then replace the full tap, they cost around £5. Just remember to turn off your main water stop valve before you try to repair.
