5 Things to Know About Your Water Pressure

When it comes to needing a plumber in South Florida, countless people have turned to using our services. We have helped many people with all aspects of plumbing, including those that involve water pressure. Many people have concerns about their water pressure, especially if it seems to low or even too high. The more you know about your water pressure, the more comfortable you will be.

There’s an episode of the popular comedy sitcom “Seinfeld,” where the water pressure has went down in Jerry and Kramer’s apartment building. They walk around with their hair flat and they are miserable, wanting the water pressure to come back. Theirs was due to the building manager installing low flow shower heads, but there can be other reasons for people to have a low water pressure. Nobody wants a low shower pressure, so it’s important to ensure that your water pressure is right where it should be.

Here are 5 things to know about your water pressure:

  1. Water pressure matters more than you realize. Most people take it for granted, like most plumbing issues, until there’s a problem. You will notice a problem if the water pressure is coming out to low when you take a shower, for example, so keep in mind that it really does matter.
  2. A home’s water pressure is the amount of force that is being used to bring the water into your home from out at the main line.
  3. Water pressure is measured in pounds per square inch (PSI). A home’s normal water pressure will usually be somewhere between 30 and 80 PSI.
  4. If you have noticed that your water pressure seems to have gotten weaker over the years it may very well be from a buildup in the pipes. If it’s happened quickly then there could be something blocking it that is causing the problem.
  5. Your water pressure can be too low or too high and neither are ideal situations. You want your water pressure to be within a normal range so that your family is comfortable and your pipes are being cared for properly.
