I find that every few months I have to adjust the main pressure valve in our house to bring up the water pressure. I try to keep it between 50 and 60psi. This is fine for my wife and me. It is just 2 of us in the house. Every few months I will notice a loss of pressure. A test will reveal it is down around 40psi and below.
We have a newer home that is at the end of the water supply line in the street. Can I expect the pressure in our home to vary if the pressure from the public water source varies? I have gotten different opinions on this. I don't know how the pressure in our home would not drop if the PWS pressure does. I don't know if I need to install a new valve or expect these fluctations due to the public water source.
