A2: A pressure regulator is a spring-loaded valve that regulates pressure on the downstream (house) side of the valve. Altering the degree of spring compression changes the downstream pressure.

Multiply the number of cubic feet per second by 7.4805 to convert to gallons per second. For example, if you start with 42 cubic feet per second, multiply 42 by 7.4805 to get 314.181 gallons per second.

A4: The best way to know if the pressure regulator is working is to install a pressure gauge on each side of the regulator. If the upstream gauge reads higher than the downstream gauge, then the regulator is probably working. Some symptoms of pressure regulator malfunction include sustained or initial bursts of unusually high pressure at faucets and shower heads and water being discharged from the relief valve on your domestic water heater. Sudden loss in pressure is another sign of a malfunctioning regulator.

A1: A household water pressure regulator reduces the water pressure from the public water main to a pressure that is usable by the customer and compatible with normal household plumbing and fixtures. It also helps prevent pressure surges from entering the household plumbing from the public main. High water pressure can result in dripping faucets and water pipes, and it can damage appliances.

A5: Yes. A homeowner or a plumber can use manufacturer's instructions for adjustment. The adjustment mechanism is usually a screw on top of the regulator. Turning this screw changes the degree of spring compression. Generally, turning the screw clockwise increases house water pressure and turning the screw counter-clockwise reduces house pressure. Repair kits for rebuilding pressure regulators are usually available from the manufacturer.

A8: There are two reasons: 1.) Most public water mains are supplied by pumps or pressure reducing valves. This equipment may produce temporary high pressure surges, which can be transmitted to household plumbing. A properly operating household pressure regulator will help prevent these surges from entering your plumbing. 2.) Your municipality might increase the pressure in the main line that supplies your house.

A3: On new installations, the pressure regulator is usually located where the water line comes into the home just inside the foundation (next to main shut-off valve). On some older installations, the pressure regulator might be found on the street side of the water meter. Distribution department staff can help with determining the location of new regulators and helping to find existing regulators.

A6: This is partly a matter of owner preference. Most homeowners set their pressure at approximately 50 pounds per square inch (psi). Lower settings will help conserve water and prolong plumbing and fitting life while higher settings will have the opposite effects.

Gallons and cubic feet measure volume, while minutes and seconds measure time. When you measure units of volume per unit of time, you get flow rates such as cubic feet per second or gallons per minute. When converting between flow rates, you can either do it in two steps -- first the units of volume and then the units of time -- or in one shorter step that combines the two conversion factors.
