Why are water regulators important to maintain?

​

Water pressure regulators are a safety feature and are designed to prevent water pressure from climbing too high, while also ensuring that the pressure remains high enough for consistent flow from faucets, taps, and shower heads.  They work to ensure that you are receiving the right amount of water.

​

What is your water pressure PSI?

​

The water pressure to the home should be between 40 and 80 pounds per square inch (PSI) according to plumbing code. All of the plumbing fixtures, supply lines, and water-using appliances are built to perform within this range. When the water pressure is higher than this, it usually doesn’t cause immediate issues, but it takes a toll over time by wearing out the plumbing faster and increasing the likelihood of leaks/floods.

 

Per the Uniform Plumbing Code, every property must have a properly installed water pressure regulator. Give us a call to maintenance or install your water regulator, we carry pressure regulators in all common sizes and styles to accommodate a fast and efficient installation.
