It’s a good idea to test water pressure in your home a couple of times per year as part of a plumbing maintenance checklist. Testing water pressure is quick and easy, and all you need is a simple and inexpensive pressure gauge. Some homes even have dedicated gauges hooked up somewhere in the water line so homeowners can check the water pressure quickly and easily with just a glance. But if you don't have a permanent gauge, it is very easy to do a periodic test with a standard water pressure gauge. more

Having too much water pressure can be hard on all plumbing lines and fixtures and can even cause blowouts in flex lines or washing machine hoses, which in turn can flood the house. It’s a good idea to test water pressure even if your home has a pressure regulator, or pressure-reducing valve (PRV), on the main water supply line because it isn’t necessarily obvious when a regulator fails. Testing water pressure occasionally can catch a problem with the regulator before the high pressure can damage any plumbing.

This is one of the most common issues that may affect you and cause severe blockage in your plumbing system. You will either need to clean the pipes or if not possible, replace them.

The low water pressure can affect you in more than one way. It may affect one or two of your faucets or fixtures. It may also affect your main water supply. If it affects only a single fixture, it may be a good idea to check and concentrate on the single fixture. On the other hand, if it is on the entire system, it may take a while in understanding and resolving the issue.
