"Floor standing taps for baths do not necessarily require high water pressure. The water pressure requirements depend on the specific model and design of the floor standing tap, as well as the plumbing system in your home.

Some floor standing taps may have built-in mechanisms to regulate water flow and maintain consistent pressure, allowing them to work well even with lower water pressure. However, certain designs or models may perform better with higher water pressure to ensure optimal functionality.
It is recommended to check the manufacturer's specifications or consult with a plumbing professional to determine the water pressure requirements for a specific floor standing tap you are interested in."

"Hi

The majority of floor standing taps are standard taps with posts and hoses that simply screw to the bottom . If your existing taps work with no problems then floor standing taps should operate the same .
