Personal Consumer Issues • Water Pressure Regulator

So this morning the static black needle on pressure gauge was still at 72 and the red needle was around 90. If I were to adjust the regulator down to 60 PSI static I am not sure if that means that the spike pressure would also reduce?

Did you set it as I instructed earlier?

Yes, I did thanks!

Then you have a problem. Overnight the pressure reached 90#. Imo 72# was little too high but 90# is definitely too high. Anything over about 65#, imo, is getting too high and will stress your components in the house.

Even if it was only a spike, repeated spikes to 90# will cause damage. In some ways are spikes cause more damage than continuous high pressure.
