Water Pressure

[James R. Szczesny]

I too check pressure at the hose bib, never seen them seperate from the house. I think homeowner should know if above 80psi. Some dishwashers function different above 100psi. Pipes can bust too. Quite a quick test. Also tells me if the stem leaks in the valve!! About 40% of homes here too high also.

W.W.Grainger sells an inexpensive water pressure gauge (under $100 last time I checked).

You can use the www.nachi.org/well-meter.htm as well.
