H2o Psi Very High

Danielstribe

Need to know what if any dangers there are with h2o psi being @ 110+ at my buddies house (with new pressure tank), seen the NEW external faucet gauge test results myself thought something was admiss when told about this high psi so I check it out first hand and was amazed for before the pressure tank was installed he barely got 20 psi. This also sparked an interest in my own psi on my home (at my current home it is by far the best h2o psi I've ever had anywhere) and found it to be 95+ psi without a pressure tank. So are these levels safe or not? Thanks in Advance DT

80 psi is the highest allowed by code in most areas.

Open the yellow pages, go to Plumbers, look for the biggest ads, choose a Plumber, and call him.

Your washer hoses could burst, and your faucets coud drip. .. I'm curious. i only know of pressure tanks with regards to Well systems generally set around 50 psi. Are you talking about a pt on a city type system??

Yes you should be concerned, very concerned, side effects, include but not limited to, insomnia, headaches, burning sensations on the bare skin, dehydration, and possibly death.
