High Water Pressure Facts.

​WHAT IS ​GOOD WATER PRESSURE? How important is it?

  • High water pressure is like high blood pressure. It puts unnecessary stress in your plumbing system that results in expensive repairs and property damage.  
  • Water pressure supplied by utility companies can fluctuate throughout the day.
  • Uniform Plumbing Codes require water pressure to be 80 psi or less.
    Pressure higher than 80 psi can cause premature plumbing fixture failure.
  • Water Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV or Regulator) and thermal expansion tank are essential to maintaining  water pressure at safe levels. However, these plumbing components have a limited service life and will eventually fail. When this occurs, there is often no clear indication to property owners until a catastrophic failure that causes flooding and expensive property damage.
  • Common problems caused by high water pressure:
    • Leaking/dripping faucet
    • Running or noisy toilet
    • Noisy/banging pipes
    • Premature failure of appliances and plumbing components such as water heaters, faucets, shower  valves, washers, hoses & tubing, filtration systems. 
    • Expensive property damage from a burst or leaking pipe, fitting or appliance.
