There isnt a way to check the pressure of my cold mains is there?

Can do flow rate obviously but i could do with knowing what bar its coming in at.
 
Don’t ask me why I know this, but for a rough guide.Time how long it takes to get 2.5 gallon of water from the cold tap on full. Using the figures below you can work out the water pressure.

1 min = 1 bar
30sec = 2 bar
15sec = 3 bar
 
Ask your water company? They should be able to give you max and min pressures for your mains supply.
 
If you really want to know, you can buy a pressure gauge with a push fit connector. I think Screwfix do them and I don't think they are very pricey.
