High water pressure on just one toilet upstairs

[enochian]

I have no clue why only one toilet upstairs has high water pressure.

Its spurts out like a pressure washer.

But anyway, is there a regulator or something for toilet stops?

Into the tank?

Are you saying that there is a lot of noise and turbulence while the tank fills, but other than that, things are good?

The flex line, when you have it disconnected from the toilet, sprays out like a pressure washer.

It's a small ID hose. Your pressure actually will increase into a smaller line. Just throttle down the toilet shutoff valve.

Better yet get a pressure gauge and test your house. Recently discovered 74PSI at mine. No wonder all the under-slab leaks I had.

That sounds good to me. No cure needed. Why would that bother you? And how did you even learn that?

Or is really a complaint about the other toilet supply line(s)?

Normal.

74 psi is not going to cause slab leaks.

On 1977 year old copper and smelly chlorinated city water? Copper has a 50 year service life last I read. And 80PSI is the max any faucets and such are rated to handle.

So what did cause my 4 under slab leaks?

I have a pressure reg now anyway sitting at 50PSI. Great flow and no water hammering going on anymore.

Water composition and aggressiveness is the biggest reason for copper degradation. To low or high in mineral content. Chlorine/Chloramine levels. Water PH. Etc...taking a slab into consideration concrete will corrode copper, dirt and moisture will cause corrosion. Etc...
