Water Pressure Regulator Installation

Most homes are required to have a water pressure regulator in San Diego. With a well-maintained regulator, you’ll be able to extend the life of your household piping and plumbing fixtures. In addition, a water pressure regulator allows you to control the flow of water easier.

When you choose to add a water pressure regulator to your pre-existing plumbing fixtures, it’s a quick replacement or addition. With the expert plumbers of Eastlake Plumbing, you’ll gain access to all the common sizes and tools needed for the right water pressure regulator for your San Diego property.

What Does a Water Pressure Regulator do?

Just as the name implies, a water pressure regulator helps to control the flow of water. Once installed, your regulator will ensure the water you receive from the city water source flows at a safe rate for your faucets, showers, garden hoses, water softener, water heater, washing machine, and other plumbing fixtures.

A properly installed water pressure regulator will give you the ability to control the PSI or Pounds per Square Inch of water moving through your pipes. If the pressure is too high, you could end up with a water leak, eroding washers, banging pipes, or dripping faucets.

One of the leading causes of household plumbing issues is high water pressure. When you have the water pressure set too high, it not only causes damage to your plumbing fixtures and pipes, but it can also cause higher water, sewer, and energy bills. You may end up wasting gallons of water due to the pressure being set too high.

Of course, nobody wants low water pressure, either. When the water pressure is set too low, you will likely experience frustration as you try to wash dishes, use a washing machine, or even flush a toilet.

If you have a water pressure regulator already, but you feel the pressure is too high or too low, call Eastlake Plumbing today. We will test your water pressure regulator to ensure its working effectively.
