good tutorial. These water pressure last about 10 to 15 years on average. Just replaced mine at 18 years old.

My dad increased water pressure in the house to have stronger showers with less temperature jump when someone flushes. Now our taps screech when you turn them, drips and leaks have sprung from the tap seals, limescale staining and rust developing on the fittings/pipes. It's been months but he refuses to change them. So I'm going on a mission to reduce the water pressure hopefully without him noticing and save our house from an inevitable plumbing disaster. Ignorance is not bliss!

The pressure value in my townhouse has the gauge attached and it reads between 60 -65 psi but the problem is it just started to leak, drip. So I didn't know it if still can be adjusted or replaced.

My increase pressure nut is dripping water very slowly when water is running do I have to replace the whole pressure value

Last week had a new hot water installed. They also replaced the water pressure regulator valve. Fast forward to a week later. I noticed the pressure in house wasn’t as strong all week. Anyway, went to do laundry and washer was not filling up as it normally does even when I switched the controls to deep water wash. Basically, it filled up about 6-7 inches of water. Prior to have the new pressure valve installed I never had a issue. My washer is about two years old. Could the pressure valve if set too low cause my washer not to fill properly? Trying to figure if it’s related to that or just a conindence my washer needs repaired. Thanks

I reduced my pressure and got it down to about 60psi from 140psi. About 8 hours later psi went back up to 140. Any thoughts?

[raginfcktard]

How are you getting 100 psi on a valve that's 25-75?

Other videos recommend a quarter turn to start with -- you did a half dozen turns, give or take. That can't be right
