The house water line has a psi of 96. A prior plumber simply shut the valve on the main water line half way. Do I need the expensive of buying a regulator as another plumber recommends? I also worry, besides an expense that might not be needed, is having another "thing" that might leak.
Also, I am also thinking of a sediment filter. Sediment does not seem visible except at the bathroom faucet's flow restriction screen which collects a light coating of a white gritty paste over a couple of weeks, sometimes longer. I am on an old town water system. I have an Aquasana filter at the kitchen sink and the shower.
Are these worth buying? Are the inexpensive sediment containers like GE or Culligan at the big box stores OK? I read some crack and leak, or slow down the water flow rate. And changing a filter every 1 to 3 months sounds expensive.
Your thoughts?
