Calgary water pressure

[Delphinus]

Oops, had a thought. I get 96psi but that's because I bypassed the pressure regulator. Most homes these days have regulators (if you have a bathtub and/or shower where you can't regulate the flow, ie., on or off and temperature, but no "more flow" or "less flow", then you have a regulator). In my case they dialed it down to 60. I chose to bypass it because at my old house I was getting close to 100psi, and had awesome RO/DI output, at this house I couldn't believe how slow it would trickle out.

I first tried opening up the regulator all the way - I don't recommend this approach - unless you happen to like painful showers (those little streams of water get supersonic at high enough pressure). I just T'd off a line before the regulator and this services my tank room and outside hoses (impulse sprinklers work better with some pressure).
