water pressure regulator
My house water pressure regulator has started to make a high pitched 'whine'
whenever the water is on somewhere in the house. I put a pressure gauge on the outside hose bib, without any water running in the house, and the pressure gauge showed 118 psi. I opened a bath tub's hot and cold faucets, and the pressure dropped on the gauge to 48 psi; I then also opened the second tub's hot and cold faucets, and the pressure gauge dropped to 28 psi. I'm confused as how the pressure regulator is suppose to work; and isn't an initial 118 psi a tad bit high? Anybody out there know anything about these things and give me a bit of direction? Thanks in Advance, Charlie |
