A water pressure regulator is a valve on the main water line that takes the pressure coming from the street and brings it down to a steady, safe level for the house. You need one replaced when house pressure runs too high, swings up and down, or falls off because the regulator has worn out. We test and replace regulators throughout San Diego County, the Temecula Valley and the Inland Empire, and you see the gauge reading yourself.
The California Plumbing Code calls for a regulator wherever the static water pressure is over 80 psi (pounds per square inch), and the City of San Diego says the same thing to its customers: if the pressure in your area is over 80 psi, you need one, and the regulator is the property owner's responsibility.
Regulators do not last forever. When one fails, it usually lets street pressure through, and every faucet, toilet valve, supply hose and appliance in the house takes the strain until someone notices.
