My neighborhood has relatively high water pressure. The pressure comming into my house averages 76 PSI per the water company. The pressure varies widely depending on the time of day and the surrounding usage. A realtor told me that home inspectors are sometimes recommending that buyers request water pressure valves be installed prior to closing on a home in this area. A few neighbors have experienced broken fittings [ such as toilet ] that they feel may be attributed to high pressure. The house is 2 years old and the builder says it meets all codes and pressure should not be a problem.
Should I have a water pressure valve installed? If so how does it work?
Today my pressure is good - for example, if the washer or other appliances are working the pressure at the shower is still good. Will the pressure at all the outlets in the house be the same after installation? Or will the pressue in the shower deminish when other appliances are on?
Thanks , Joe
