Water Pressure Safety: Why Having the Right PSI Matters

Homebuyers are often concerned about water pressure — and for good reason. Too much pressure can cause leaks, while too little can make for an underwhelming shower experience.

Having adequate water pressure is essential because it allows the use of multiple water sources at the same time without affecting their individual functions. For example, you want to be able to take a shower while your dishwasher and sprinkler system are also running.

On the other hand, having too much water pressure is dangerous — it increases the risk of damage to the pipes, joints, fixtures, seals, and appliances in your home’s plumbing, and it leads to water waste.

While too much pressure probably won’t cause an immediate leak, it can stress any weak links in your pipes, increasing the chances of leaks or failure. Checking your home’s water pressure is a simple way to avoid costly water damage.

Water pressure is measured in psi, or pounds per square inch, and represents the force at which water enters your home from the water main. Normal psi for a home pipe system is between 30 and 80 psi. While you don’t want the psi to be too low, it violates code to be above 80. Instead, you should aim for a psi that’s between 60 and 70.

Warning Signs of High Pressure

Several factors affect your water pressure, including the type of residential water service offered in your area and the elevation of your home. Knowing the warning signs of high water pressure could save you from having more extreme issues:

• Repeated leaks in fixtures and appliances: High water pressure can push seals and washers out of place, allowing water to pass through. If you have the problem repaired and it returns, your pressure is likely too high.
• Banging or knocking sounds in your plumbing: Water pressure can cause the “water hammer” effect when you turn off a faucet or flush a toilet. If it’s not fixed, it can create permanent damage to your plumbing.
• Burst lines and hoses: Inlet lines, which include the lines going to appliances such as dishwashers and icemakers, are most commonly affected.
• Appliance failure: When appliances fail prematurely, the culprit could be high water pressure. Seals and pumps can break when the pressure exceeds what they were designed to handle.

If you experience any of these problems, check your home’s water pressure immediately.

Fixing the Problem

You or a plumber can check your home’s psi using a water pressure gauge. The gauge is screwed onto a spigot in your home to obtain a reading. If your water pressure is more than 80 psi, installing a regulator can help. A regulator adjusts the amount of water reaching your home from the municipal water supply. Many regulator devices can adjust manually or automatically to ensure that your home is receiving exactly the water pressure required.

How to Test Water Pressure at Home

Low water pressure results in trickling showerheads and faucets, but high water pressure can damage your plumbing system. Similar to checking your indoor air quality, testing your home water pressure a few times a year can help you identify and remedy problems before they get worse. Use this as a guide on how to test the water pressure in your home.

The Importance of Testing Home Water Pressure

Many people only think to test the water pressure when it becomes noticeably low. However, too much of a good thing can be bad. High water pressure can harm your pipe connections, water softener, water heater, faucets, and appliances. Blowouts in flex lines and washing machine hoses are also more likely, which could, in turn, flood your home.

How to Test Home Water Pressure

The only tool you need is a simple, inexpensive pressure gauge, which you can purchase at any hardware or home improvement store. Look for one with female hose threads for easy hook-up, a rubber gasket to form a tight seal, and the ability to measure up to 300 pounds per square inch (psi).

With a pressure gauge on hand, follow these steps to test the water pressure:

Preparation

Turn off all faucets, showerheads, dishwashers, washing machines, refrigerator ice makers, and sprinklers. If water is moving anywhere in your plumbing system, this may cause a low-pressure reading.

Hook Up Pressure Gauge

Hook up the gauge to an outside faucet or hose bib. If you get your water from a municipal utility, select the one closest to the water meter. If you have a well, choose a hose bib as close as possible to the well’s pressure tank.

Measure Water Pressure

Tighten the gauge by hand and open the faucet all the way. Look at the gauge to determine the pressure. An ideal reading is between 45 and 55 psi. If the pressure is below 40 psi or above 80 psi, you should take action.

How to Address High or Low Water Pressure

What’s the verdict? Is your water pressure too high, too low, or just right?

If it’s too high, consider installing a water pressure regulator on the water main to ensure a maximum flow of 75 psi. Even if you already have one installed, it’s still wise to test the water pressure in your home because pressure regulators can fail without noticeable symptoms.

If it’s too low, inspect the pressure regulator, if you have one. It should be set to 50 psi by default, but you can adjust the screw on top to improve the flow. If a pressure regulator isn’t to blame, the municipal water utility may be delivering low water flow to your home. You can solve this problem by installing a water pressure booster to improve the flow every time someone opens a faucet.

If it’s just right, there’s nothing more you need to do. Tuck your pressure gauge away for a few months until your next test.
