Make Sure Your Pipes Don't Burst - Call Our Maricopa County Water Treatment Team
A pressure regulator is essentially a valve that regulates the amount of incoming water pressure to your home. Some areas in the valley have water pressures that well exceed the Universal Plumbing Code of 80 psi. Too high of water pressure can cause leaks, failures in appliances and major water damage claims.
If you have an issue with your pressure regulator or want to know if your home needs one, contact All About Water for help.

Do You Need to Have a Pressure Regulator Installed?
While most homes already have pressure regulators built into their plumbing, this is not always the case. If you don’t already have pressure regulators, you could be at risk of burst pipes, water damage, flooding, and other problems.
It’s a good idea to have a pressure regulator installed if:
- You’ve noticed fluctuations in water pressure during use (especially low to high pressure)
- The pressure of your main water supply is 80 psi or higher
- The local water company recommends pressure regulator installation
In most cases, municipal water pressure is around 150 psi. A pressure regulator can help you avoid serious problems associated with high water pressure. At All About Water, we assist homeowners with new pressure regulator installation, as well as pressure regulator repairs and replacements for existing units. Our highly trained team provides prompt, professional service backed by our industry-leading guarantees!
How Does a Water Pressure Regulator Work?
A pressure regulator limits the excess inlet water pressure to a constant outlet of pressure. a pressure regulator activates when water travels in through the opening at the end of the regulator. After, water will enter a cylinder which is attached to a larger diaphragm near the end of the regulator. A spring that is found around the throttling stem is what holds the flow area open and allows water to pass through. We also have provided more information below with the following bullet points:
- Where is the water pressure regulator located? Your home's water pressure regulator is typically located right by your water supply's main shut-off valve. This is likely located outside where the water pipes connect to your house. If you're struggling to find it, our expert plumbers can help when you call us in for a service.
- How can I tell when a pressure regulator goes bad? Like all plumbing valves and fixtures, they will at some point go bad. If you notice that your piping is making a loud banging noise or a inconsistent water pressure, this could be an early indicator that your water pressure regulator is failing.
