Water Pressure FAQs
Normal water pressure for a residential home typically falls within these parameters:
The ideal range is between 40-80 pounds per square inch (PSI). Most homes operate best at around 50-60 PSI.
Key pressure guidelines:
- Below 40 PSI: Considered too low, causing weak shower flow and slow-filling appliances
- Above 80 PSI: Too high, risking damage to pipes and appliances
- 60 PSI: The optimal pressure for most households
Signs of pressure issues:
- Sputtering faucets
- Banging pipes
- Inconsistent water flow
- Appliance performance problems
Here are the common causes of low water pressure in your home:
- Clogged Pipes: Mineral buildup or debris can restrict water flow through your plumbing system.
- Leaking Pipes: Hidden leaks can reduce pressure throughout your home's water system.
- Faulty Pressure Regulator: A malfunctioning or improperly adjusted pressure regulator valve can limit water flow.
- Municipal Supply Issues: Problems with the city water supply or main line can affect neighborhood pressure.
- Corroded Pipes: Old, corroded pipes can restrict water flow over time.
- Water Valve Problems: Partially closed main water valves or shut-off valves can restrict flow.
- Shared Pipelines: Multiple fixtures running simultaneously can reduce overall pressure.
