Today I measured my incoming mains water pressure to be a little over 10

Quite honestly I was surprised because instinctively I would have expected
it to be somewhat lower. *What is normal though? *Is 10 bar unusual?

It's never especially bothered me because I have an IMI pressure regulator
taking the in-house pressure down to about *3 bar....however the regulator
started playing up recently causing the in house static pressure to increase
a lot which could be quite alarming when filling a kettle.

The regulator is now fixed....and I am just curious.

Well the taps I just bought are rated up to 6 bar so I'd certainly
have trouble. You include a turbine on the incoming mains to generates
a bit of electricity everytime you use the taps.
