To use a water gauge (specifically a pressure gauge to measure home water pressure), turn the water on and read the gauge to see the water pressure in pounds per square inch (PSI).
Here's a breakdown:
-
Turning on the water: Ensure the water supply is fully open to get an accurate reading.
-
Reading the Gauge: The gauge will display the pressure in PSI.
-
Typical Water Pressure: Normal water pressure is typically between 40 and 80 PSI.
- Water Commander pumps, for example, need at least 40 PSI to function
