it sound like you have young kids that leave the taps on.

if it is a real problem and you are in danger of flooding you could consider fitting automatic shut off taps

not such a daft question, as some s****asses here seem to think

i considered something like this for an elderly relative who has arthritis and can take ages to turn off a water tap. We got an adjustment thingy from betterware than means she can manage better and it was a cheaper solution, but we would consider this again.

Here an example

had the OP asked the question & added it was because the kids left the taps on then they may have got a diff response, although you wouldn't have done.

It would have been helpful, I should have said

Several young children, leaving taps on but getting better, large taps and house suffers from high pressure. 30psi reducer already fitted.

3 showers, 4 toilets and no water saving devices on anything inc. toilets.

Obviously on meter

Hi.

Try these?

Especially if you don't already have means of isolation.

Nice idea. From a cost POV don't see the point. TBH.

As you have four loo's

Try placing a brick in the toilet cistern, saves up to 3 liters of water with every flush.

& then they prob wouldn't flush the stuff away properly, which is why they brought out diff pans that use less water & the half flush for no 1's & full flush for no 2's

We recently had the water main replaced and it caused a number of problems in the village (blowing off fittings) but I just turned down the main valve before the water entered the property.

if the fittings were blowing off then they weren't fitted correctly or were faulty, by turning down the valve all you have done is reduced the flow the pressure is still the same & pressure is the prob you describe with the fittings.
