No one likes showering under a trickle of water or being sprayed when they turn on the kitchen sink. That’s why water regulators are an essential part of any plumbing system. These industrial valves maintain a consistent level of water pressure throughout a home, ensuring it’s never too high or low. The ideal water pressure is around 50 pounds per square inch, although homes without a water regulator could have water pressure as high as 140–160 psi. Caylor Industrial Sales in Dalton, GA, is the region’s leader in industrial hardware supplies and will explain why regulating water pressure is important. 

3 Benefits of Water Regulators 

1. Preserve Home Appliances 

Home appliances are expensive to repair and replace. Excessively high water pressure can put stress on items like your washing machine and dishwasher, causing them to wear out more quickly. A water regulator will prevent this from happening. 

2. Protect Plumbing 

Water regulator Dalton GAMost people don’t want low water pressure in their home, particularly in the shower. But reducing the water pressure can extend the life of plumbing fixtures. A water regulator will ensure the pressure is sustained at a level that’s comfortable for you and your plumbing. Regulating the pressure also conserves water, which will benefit the environment and decrease your utility bills. 

3. Maintain Home Water Supply Lines 

Most homes are connected to a public water main. If the city increases the water pressure from 40 psi to 110 psi, for example, it could cause your house to flood if you don’t have a water regulator. The additional pressure could exceed the capacity of your washing machine hose, causing it to burst and leak.
