Your inquiry is appreciated! The water supply pressure for the LG 5.2 cubic foot 14-cycle Mega-Capacity High-Efficiency Steam, Top-Loading Washer Model # WT5680HWA should be between 14.5 psi (100~800 kPa). If its higher than 16 psi then you will have to install a pressure reducing valve. If on the other hand, the pressure is lower than 14.5 psi, your washing may take longer and the performance and efficiency of the washer definitely will be affected. Definitely reach out to a qualified plumber to get this rectified. You might even get pipe knocking!...IFV
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We haven't had an issue, and we use a tankless water heater - which creates some pressure issues in the home. While I DO notice less pressure when i have a couple of items running - if it's just the washing machine, i haven't seen any issues! Just plan accordingly. Anything that uses water is going to give you a similar issue though - this doesn't create any more of one. In fact, it weighs the items in the drum - and only uses 'enough' water - so if anything, it may help!

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. This machine actually uses less water. We live remote and pull our water from a well pump.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Our water pressure isn't great either. We've had our washer since Thanksgiving. So far, pressure isn't an issue.
