Common Questions About Water Pressure

Understanding water pressure issues can be daunting, but we’re here to help. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about water pressure and how to manage it effectively in your home.

What are the signs of a failing pressure regulator?

Signs of a failing pressure regulator include fluctuating water pressure, unusual noises in the plumbing, and water pressure that is either too high or too low. If you notice these symptoms, it’s important to have the regulator inspected by a professional.

How do I test my water pressure regulator?

To test your water pressure regulator, you can use a water pressure gauge. Attach the gauge to a hose bib or faucet, and ensure all other water outlets are off. The reading should be within the range recommended by your local water authority. If not, adjustments or repairs may be necessary.

Can I adjust the water pressure?

Yes, you can adjust the water pressure by turning the adjustment screw on the pressure regulator. However, it’s advisable to consult with a professional to ensure the adjustment is done correctly and safely, preventing potential damage to your plumbing system.

Why is my shower pressure low?

Low shower pressure can be caused by a variety of factors, including a clogged shower head, a faulty pressure regulator, or issues with the main water supply line. Using our Shower Pressure Checker can help diagnose the specific cause.

How often should I check my water pressure?

It’s recommended to check your water pressure at least once a year. Regular checks can help identify potential issues early, preventing costly repairs and ensuring your plumbing system functions efficiently.

What should I do if my water pressure is too high?

If your water pressure is too high, it can cause damage to your plumbing system. Installing a pressure reducing valve (PRV) can help manage and stabilize the pressure. For best results, have a professional install and adjust the PRV.
