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.

Why is it possible to boil normal water at higher altitudes?
There is lower air pressure.
If the water pressure level in the house is too high how do you lower it?
Install a pressure reducing valve
How can a researcher ensure that water being used for an experiment will vaporize at a point lower than normal?
Conduct the experiment is a pressure vessel where the pressure is maintained at a point lower than normal.
Explain why the water froze at a temperature lower than 0 degrees Celsius ?
Pure water, at normal atmospheric pressure freezes at 0 deg C. If the pressure is greater than normal atmospheric pressure (760mm of Hg) or if the water contains dissolved substances, its freezing point will be below 0 deg C.
Where water boils first in lower pressure or high atmospheric pressure?
in Lower pressure water does not have to get as hot to boil
What temperature does water turn to steam?
At normal atmospheric pressure, it is 100 deg C. However, water will evaporate at a much lower temperature.
Would you ever want higher than 80 psi water pressure in a house?
For normal usage, no, not necessary. Higher pressure puts added strain on fixture water piping.
What is 29 degrees Fahrenheit?
It is a temperature that is slightly lower than the freezing point of pure water at normal pressure.
At 32 degrees Fahrenheit what does water do?
Pure water, at normal pressure will freeze.
House water pressure?
House water pressure should be around 50-60 psi.
When water changes from liquid to Gas?
Water vapors begin to condense when T drops below 100 degree Celsius. This is true under the normal conditions (sea level atmospheric pressure). On higher altitudes, there pressure is lower, vaporization/condensation temperature will be lower.
What happens to water if you lower its pressure?
you lower its boiling point.
