High water pressure is often found in older homes or houses built in certain jurisdictions that do not require a water pressure regulator to be installed. High water pressure can rupture your washing machine hoses, damage you dish washer and toilet valves, and cost you extra $$ on your utility bills. Regulators can be purchased at the local hardware store for approximately $30.00 and should be installed on the incoming water line on the house side of the main shut off valve.
