Due to an ongoing issue with water hammer when running my washing machine, I picked up a Watts model IWTG pressure gauge and installed it where the machine's cold water hose would hook up. The static pressure hovered right around 60 psi, dipping a little when running water in the house. What concerns me is that I found the red needle pegged at max once and then after resetting it, I found it at 120 psi.
Other information:
- I don't see a regulator anywhere near where the water main comes in.
- I had put a Sioux Chief Mini Rester on the hot and cold lines to the washer a few months back, which seemed to address the water hammer until a few days ago when I heard it again. That prompted me to buy the test gauge.
- My water heater does have an expansion tank, fwiw.
Suggestions?
