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.

Thanks. Informative article.

First I need to find out what my water pressure is. I suspect its high but don’t really know the facts. I do live close and below a water tower.

Also don’t know what level the water company has set for feeds to these houses in my neighborhood.

I’ll have to check this out more.
