how high can I run my home water pressure before I run the risk of
prematurely wearing out fixtures, washers, toilet parts, washing machine,
etc.

our city water supply is at a really high pressure (over 150 psi) so I can
set the pressure regulator for any pressure less than that

I like really strong showers, how high can I go without reducing the life
of things?


I've always heard 50-60 psi. But, my previous home had no regulator, and the
pressure was measured at 100-ish. In 20 years, the worst problem we had was
noisy pipes when the kitchen sink was turned on. No premature wear that I
was aware of, unless having the rebuild the Delta kitchen faucet twice ($10,
20 minutes), was caused by high pressure.
