Yours vs. buildingPuerto BanúsEnglish speaking

Low water pressure in Puerto Banús.

Weak shower, taps barely running? We check whether it's inside your apartment or a wider issue with the building's supply.

Tip: tell us if your neighbours on the same floor have normal pressure.

Yours, or the building's?

Points to your own apartment
  • • Neighbours on the same floor have normal pressure
  • • Only one tap or shower is weak
  • • Pressure has dropped gradually over months
Points to the building's supply
  • • Multiple apartments on your floor affected
  • • Whole apartment weak, all fixtures at once
  • • Change happened building-wide, all at once

Common causes of low pressure

Limescale inside older pipework

Narrows the internal diameter over years, gradually reducing flow.

Blocked showerhead or aerator

A local build-up affecting just one fixture, not the whole apartment.

Building supply issue

A fault in the shared system affecting several units on the same floor or riser.

Upper-floor pressure limits

Some buildings see naturally lower pressure on higher floors without a booster.

A hidden leak nearby

Water escaping elsewhere in the system takes pressure away from your tap.

Partially closed valve or stopcock

Sometimes as simple as a valve that isn't fully open.

Water pressure in Puerto Banús — what to expect

The first question we ask on a low-pressure job here is always whether it's just you or several apartments. If your neighbours on the same floor are fine, the cause is almost always inside your own pipework — usually limescale build-up or a blockage at a specific fixture.

If several units are affected at once, that points to something in the building's shared supply, which needs raising with building management rather than fixing at your own cost. We'll tell you clearly which one applies before recommending anything.

FAQ — low water pressure Puerto Banús

My pressure is worse than my neighbour's on the same floor. Why?+

That points to something inside your own apartment, since you're both fed from the same building supply. A blockage or scale build-up in your pipework is the likely cause.

I'm on a high floor — is that why pressure is weak?+

It can be a factor. Higher floors sometimes see lower pressure depending on how the building's supply system is set up, especially without a booster pump serving upper levels.

Could a hidden leak be causing the low pressure?+

Yes, that's worth ruling out, especially if the drop was sudden rather than gradual.

Do you install booster pumps in apartments?+

Yes, where it's appropriate for the unit and the building allows it. We'll assess whether that's the right fix for your situation.
