Water Pressure Reduction

Supply Line Pressures

High water pressure (75 to 90 psi) can greatly increase the flow rate for the same faucet or shower head. Greater pressure forces more water through an opening of a given size.

In such cases, a pressure reducing valve could reduce line pressure to a more normal range (40 - 60 psi). These devices are placed in the house water line just after the water meter.
