Water pressure-70 PSI?

KD · Jan 7, 2007

I have a pressure regulator. Incoming pressure is about 140 psi. Upstream from the regulator, I have a fire hose hose bibb running at full pressure. What should I set the pressure at for the rest of the house? 50? 70?

thats a lot of pressure

Anywhere from 65 to 75 psi feels pretty

good ....

lower than 60 seems rather sluggish....

Don't forget the expansion tank for the system with the PRV valve.
Any "closed" system should have one.
