Water pressure too high?

Most individuals only seem to be concerned about water pressure when it’s low but water pressure that is too high can also be problematic. On average water pressure in a house should be between 45–65psi. If your water pressure is higher than this it can cause significant damage to your pipes, increase water bill, and potentially shorten the lifespan of your appliances. Here are few signs that your pressure may be too high and needs to be looked at.

• A knocking, banging or hammering noise coming from the pipes when you turn on a faucet in the house (this is known as a “water hammer”).
• Leaky faucets.
• Irregular water pressure in your showers and sinks, or water that comes out in spurts.
• Water-using appliances that fail prematurely, such as a water heater, clothes washing machine or a dishwasher with an unusually short lifespan.
• Toilets that run constantly or in cycles, even when they aren’t in use
