Excessive pressure may damage pipe joints and internal parts of cheap faucets. The old PolyB pipe is very susceptible to breaking under excess pressure. In most cases, I see no reason for house pressure to be in excess of 50 psi.
There are various kinds of pressure valves. Perhaps the 2 most common in homes are the PRV (pressure regulating valve) which is on most incoming water pipes from a city supply. This valve limits the pressure entering the home system, bringing it down from city mains pressure. The second is on every hot water tank, and this is a relief valve, which will open up if the pressure in the tank becomes too high and vent the excess water down the drain.

No, in North America most homes are wired to a single phase transformer. That transformer is connected to a three phase power grid. Some of the newer apartment buildings and condominium complexes have three phase systems in them. Their voltages are 120/208 as compared to a homes single phase connection of 120/240 volts.AnswerSome European countries, such as here in Cyprus, have three-phase residential supplies as standard for some reason -can't quite figure out why it should be necessary, though!
70 psi would be safe and give you great pressure in your home. For some it may be too much. If your on a well, you will have fluctuating pressure in most cases so a pressure switch setting of 50/70 psi would be good.
