Home inspection shows that water pressure in the house is too high.
I verified the pressure to be 120 PSI at the inlet to my washing machine. I tried to regulate the pressure at the Water Pressure Reducing Valve but the pressure didn't change.
However I noticed that when I open a faucet in the house the pressure drops to 50 psi. Also, I notice that the pressure is adjustable when a faucet is open.
Is this normal or is there an issue? Am I testing the pressure wrong?
Thank you.
