How to tell if water pressure is high or low

Hi all, a bit of advice please..
I'm looking at buying a kitchen mixer tap from Ebay, but need to know if my hot water system is high or low pressure. I've googled it, but says I need a pressure meter. Is there another way to estimate it? I know the mains supply is high pressure (very high), so high that garden hose trigger sprays that are guaranteed for 2 years break within a few months if I don't turn the water off from the tap. The hot water is supplied by a condensing boiler, on the ground floor.

simple answer
roof tanks + hot water cylinder = low pressure
combi boiler or unvented cylinder = high pressureI'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.
