I finally got my arm behind things and I do have a water pressure
regulator. Is there a typical pressure this is set for?

About 50 psi


I live in a northwest suburb of Baltimore, and I seem to have plenty
of pressure, or the standard amount of pressure. We have 3 big
reservoirs that supply water, one of them 5 miles up the road from me.
The toilet closest to the water entry point does a complete cycle in
32 seconds, from pushing the flush level to the tank being refilled.
(I figure about 6 seconds of that before the flapper shuts, so 26
seconds to fill the tank.) Thanks.

Some toilets us 5 gallons, some us 3, some use 1.2. 26 seconds seems
adequate no matter how much yours uses. Other factors come into play also.
Pipe size, restrictions, filters, scale buildup. Flow and pressure are
different.
