Default What is the optimum water pressure for a house?


Any plumbers out there?

Assuming a range of between 35 - 60 psi, if you had a greater degree
of control and precision in setting the water pressure for a house,
what would the ideal value be?

Assuming...

Want to minimize noise, water hammer, and wear and tear on
faucet gaskets, solenoid valves, etc.

Want to maximize comfort level of showers (equiped with lo-flo
heads).
