How to reduce your water pressure to your taps if you have a high mains pressure or an unvented cylinder such as a megaflow, boilermate ect.
Reducing water pressure in your home can be done in several ways, my video demonstrates a few. Some people turn down the isolation valves or main stopcock which is not advisable, as it can produce noise, water hammer in pipes /taps and can damage the valves and stopcock.

House water pressure?
House water pressure should be around 50-60 psi.
What to do if the water pressure in your house is too high?
There is usually a main water valve that comes into the house, locate this valve and turn it down. Installing a pressure reducing valve after water main valve will allow for adjustment of water pressure to proper setting.
What would make the water pressure in a house go above 80 psi?
Area water authority could have increased water main pressure, no or defective expansion tank in house main water line if house has a backflow preventer installed, or defective /not properly set pressure reducing valve.
How to Maintain water pressure?
If you have water pressure and wish to maintain it, do not cause flow in the line, which will reduce pressure due to friction. To keep pressure up, reduce friction by increasing the line size or eliminating some other restriction. To maintain water pressure in the line, it might have a pressure transmitter and Booster pump to maintain the set Pressure in the network & I disagree the above answer to maintain the pressure we shouldn't increase the line size by reducing the line size we can increase/Maintain the pressure to overcome the losses in the Network
What pressure should you have entering the hot water tank?
House pressure, 75 PSI maximum.
How to lower the water pressure in a normal house?
If you are on city water, there will be a Pressure Reduction Valve where the water pipe enters the house. This is a bell shaped fitting with an adjuster nut on top. Loosen the locknut (top one ) and turn the lower nut anti-clockwise to reduce pressure, then lock it again. - NOTE - some PRV's will go up in pressure when they get old, and are impossible to reduce any more. In this case you need to turn OFF the water outside and fit a new PRV. They cost around 40-60 depending where you buy them.
House water pressure?
House water pressure should be around 50-60 psi.
How do you reduce or increase water pressure on a grass sprinkler?
With a pressure booster pump or a Pressure reducing valve
How do you reduce evaporation rate in boiling water?
Fit a lid or reduce the heat Evaporation rate will actually increase if you boil water at increased pressure as the vapour pressure, to achieve boiling, must increase to that pressure.
If your home has a 1-inch feed from the town and 1-inch copper throughout the house will a five-eigths-inch water meter reduce the pressure or volume?
NO.
How would you reduce Turgid pressure in a Celery stick?
Turgid pressure is caused by the cells filling up with water and pushing against the cell walls. To reduce or eliminate it, just remove the water.
How can you make water boil at 80 degrees celsius?
Reduce the pressure on it.
What causes water pressure surging in house after pressure regulator?
Sounds like a bad/failed water pressure regulator.
If you have city water do you have whole house water filters that you need to replace?
how do i increase water pressure to the house if you have city water?
How can you increase water pressure from your tankless water heater when the inlet is half in. and your house is piped in three quarter in.?
The only way is to run 3/4 to the heater. If the house is 3/4 this should have been done when it was installed. You should only reduce the size at the fixtures.
What does barometric pressure have to do with evaporation?
Above the surface of liquid water is a layer of water vapor. It has pressure. The atmosphere also has pressure. It pushes against the water vapor. The water vapor pushes against the atmosphere. It is called vapor pressure. It is related to temperature. When the vapor pressure equals barometric pressure, water boils. Normally this occurs at 100C or 212F. If you reduce the barometric pressure, you can reduce the boiling point of water. So when the barometric pressure is lower, the water vapor above the water has an easier time mixing with the atmosphere. As it mixes with the atmosphere, it is replaced by vapor from the water. It evaporates.
Why there are 2 hole in plastic water jugs?
to reduce pressure which may prevent water from coming out when tilted
