“High water pressure wears out all the plumbing fixtures in your house, the ballcocks in the toilets, the valve in the dishwasher, faucets, the shower valves, the washing machine, and the hoses on the washing machine are more likely to burst, high water pressure is bad, bad, bad.”
What you say makes sense. It’s sort of analogous to high voltage electrical surges burning out light bulbs.
You can just turn down the main feed into your house a few notches. I have not done that and certainly have had issues with faucets. It will take a tad longer to run the washing machine and dishwater but may be worth it.
I will look into it. Thanks!
High water pressure requires a water pressure regulator on the main supply line, when the plumber installs that make sure he installs a good ball valve shut-off that anyone can see and shut off at 2;00 am, that even a baby-sitter or grandma can find and turn off in an emergency.
This quickly answers the question about closing a shut-off valve to reduce pressure.
