How a Water Pressure Regulator Can Help
A water pressure regulator helps maintain the water pressure in your home's plumbing system at a safe and consistent level. It reduces the high incoming pressure from the main water line to a lower, more manageable pressure.
This prevents damage to pipes, fixtures, and appliances, reduces leaks and water wastage, and ensures that your plumbing system functions smoothly and efficiently.
Water Pressure Regulator Installation
If your home’s pipes are exposed to high water pressure, extensive plumbing repairs are inevitable. That’s why we recommend a water pressure regulator installation for your home. Our experienced plumbers can ensure your plumbing system is as efficient as possible with this installation service, extending the lifespan of appliances and keeping your water bill low.
Before we install a water pressure regulator, we’ll need to inspect your plumbing system. The process for water pressure testing is as follows:
- Ensure all water-using appliances and fixtures are turned off.
- Connect a water pressure gauge to an outdoor hose bib or faucet.
- Open the faucet fully to allow water to flow into the gauge.
- Check the reading on the pressure gauge to know the exact water pressure measurement.
- Compare the results to the recommended pressure range (typically 40 to 60 psi for homes).
Once we know how high your water pressure is, we can install a water pressure regulator. Water pressure regulators need to be installed at the main water line, just after the shut-off valve.
While high water pressure may not seem like a big issue, it can lead to significant problems in the long run. You don’t want to be left with damaged appliances and pipes. Contact Gilmore for expert water pressure installation services in Sacramento, Antelope, and Placerville.
