A water pressure regulator is a valve that reduces the incoming water pressure to a manageable level for the safety of your home’s plumbing and appliances. Water pressure regulators are usually installed where the main water line enters the home just after the main shutoff valve.
Have you checked your pressure lately?
High water pressure is like having high blood pressure. If not controlled can cause significant damage. Your homes shut off valves, faucets, appliances, and pipes, start leaking, pipes can burst, and appliances can break down. When your water regulator is working at the right pressure, your appliances, faucets, and shutoff valves will be less likely to leak or cause damage. Check your water pressure regulator and make sure it’s not over 80 PSI.
If you notice any changes to your home’s water pressure or have several leaks around the house, check your water pressure regulator. If the water pressure cannot be adjusted, you might need to have it replaced.
Regular pressure: 50-80 PSI (Pressure per square inch)
Pressure should not be over: 80 PSI.
