My house was built in 2004. I recently ran hot/cold lines to a laundry tub I installed in my basement. After doing this I noticed the water pressure was higher than it was before. This was noticed mainly when taking a shower (2nd floor). The water was coming out with more force and if we turned the water a little more towards hot, there was pipe rumbling.
I read up on adjusting the water pressure and everything pointed to adjusting the pressure regulator valve. The problem is, we don't seem to have one.
I turned the shutoff valve that is installed just past the meter (in the basement) and lowered the pressure just a bit.
Is this method OK?
Should there have been a regulator valve in my home?
Appreciate any advice.
