The "spur" to my outside taps is upstream of the pressure regulator.

It's a real hassle replacing hose connectors all the time (because they
get blown off). ....and have had one "burst".

Mine blew a watering computer to bits.
Luckily I got a new one from the shop for free.
I had to fit a pressure regulator to stop the new one breaking.
Of course turning the stop tap down as suggested earlier would have
resulted in another blown up watering computer.
Spoke to the South East Water today. "that sounds very high" they said.

An investigation is in progress.
