Maybe you've already heard promises like: "change the hose squirt that will improve your water pressure!" or even “change the hose gun that improves your pressure!”
How should I choose the hose nozzle?
The first news is that when choosing the nozzle, remember that it serves to control the pressure that already exists , and improve the performance of the gun depending on the place where you are going to use it, the nozzle will adjust the pressure that your water already has.

How do I increase the water pressure in my home or business or even in my apartment?
It's possible to have those results that people say about increasing pressure, yes, but it's not the nozzles that do that.
Unfortunately this is a big rumor and I will explain to you what really happens in the market and can help to improve the pressure. The answer is called a pressurizer.
You may not have identified yourself with these situations, but if you've come this far, you probably know the pain of those who need the power of water to be stronger.
But don't worry, many people go through this daily, several of them have already discovered the miracle of the water pressurizer.
The pressurizer is the guaranteed way to boost your water
Few people know about this equipment, so they spend years getting frustrated and believing that there is no solution to the water tank problem, they are surprised when I say that there is an extraordinary solution and that it solves quickly.
It is a device capable of improving the pressure of your shower, faucet, hose and even capable of filling the toilet bowl more quickly.
Let me explain to you in an uncomplicated way how it works.
It works like a pump, increasing the force with which the water comes out of the plumbing. It is essential for houses or apartments with old or smaller plumbing, or for places where the height of the water tank does not provide the necessary force for the water to come out with power.
How to choose the ideal pressurizer for you?
There are two types of pressurizers and one of them will solve your water pressure problem.
PRESSURE STATO: This pressurizer works by automatically activating whenever the water pressure is low, thus increasing it throughout the house. It is always on and providing the necessary water supply.
And a secret for you, for it to work at maximum capacity, don't forget to install it at the water tank outlet.
Some models have a manual switch, so you're in control of when you want it to stay on.
FLOWSTAT: The pressurizer with flowstat solves the problem in specific places as if it were magic, that is, if what frustrates you is the power of your shower, it will solve it. Can be used on faucets and other places where you need a stronger jet of water.
A tip about this type, check if there is a special pressurizer for your shower, some brands may offer this.

- The one with the FLOW SWITCH only works well when the water comes from the top down.
- Stainless steel pressurizers are more durable.
- If you are concerned about noise, there are systems that are adapted for this.
