Water Pressure- What should my water pressure be?
For a pressure regulator to work accurately the pressure setting on it must be at least 15 PSI lower than the inlet pressure. So if your static pressure is 70 PSI, the highest pressure you should set on the pressure regulator would be 55 PSI. 55 PSI is a good pressure for both the needs of a house and a sprinkler system.
Believe it or not, some people have too much pressure. If your home is in a low lying area, water pressure may be higher than average. And if it’s higher than 70 psi, you should have a plumber install a pressure-reducing valve.
