Most people think more pressure the better when it comes to a shower. But the truth is that more water pressure can hurt your home! High water pressure can cause busted pipes, water leaks, and wasted water you will never get to use.
All homes come equipped with a water pressure regulator. This is a safety feature that is put in place on the property side of your home away from the public water main. Your home's water pressure is reduced by your water pressure regulator valve to prevent surges of water from the main. These surges can cause your water pipes to bust or crack. If your wondering how it works. I will tell you!
By altering the degree of spring compression, a pressure regulator changes the water pressure on the house side of the valve. It's a pretty simple device that does a big job.
The water company sets the pressure to a certain rate of pressure for purposes such as fire hydrant water delivery, larger properties, and other reasons. This pressure can be set as high as 150 psi or higher!! Your home is not recommended to have your water pressure set over 80 psi.
A sign that you may already have water pressure caused problems with your plumbing system is if you have leaks that only seem to appear at night or if you have toilets that occasionally run when not used. By ignoring the signs of a problem you are costing yourself money and the risk of damage to your home!
