Troubleshooting Pressure Regulator Issues

Water pressure regulators can run into problems from time to time. The key is being able to identify the issues.

If you're experiencing high water pressure, there are a few potential causes. It could be that the regulator itself is faulty or set too high. Another possibility is Pressure Fluctuations. When the pressure fluctuates erratically-high one minute, low the next is an indication the regulator is having issues.
