My well tank is rated at 150 lbs though my pump cuts off at 50.

I have a slightly different problem. I recently converted from well water to
county water. The county pressure is very high and I need to cut it back to
around 60 psi. I don't have a pressure gauge in line so I can't see what the
pressure is now. How can I cut the pressure to about what I used to have with
the pump?
Do I need to just close down the valve where the water comes into the house or
do I go to the meter by the street and close it down there? Or do I call the
water company and have them adjust it? Thanks

You need to install a PRV (Pressure Reducing Valve) where the line
enters the house...or where it enters the property if it branches off
to different place. *Can't give an estimate on cost but it is a simple
thing and shouldn't be a bank breaker.

Closing down a valve will not do it. *It might reduce the dynamic
(while in use) pressure but the static (no water draw) pressure will
build back up to the original.

I think I paid around $30 for one a few years back. *Home Depot
perhaps. *Personally I'd call the water company first and see what
they say.- Hide quoted text -

Good point! I have heard of places where the municipal system will
pay for one if it is needed.
