Was your house built before 2002?
Do you know if your house need a pressure regulator or when it needs replacement?
Does your house have a regulator / pressure reducing valve (PRV)?
Have you checked your house pressure in the past 5 years?
Does your house have a water heater but no expansion tank?
Has your faucet experienced any degree of dripping?
Do you want to know if your house has a hidden problem?
That could cost you thosands in water damage repairs.
COMMON HIGH WATER PRESSURE SYMPTOMS:
Leaking/ dripping faucet
Running toilet
Noisy/ banging pipes
Premature failure of fixture and appliances such as water heater, faucet, shower valves, washing machine and filtration system.
Catastrophic property damage from burst pipes/ fittings and appliances.
Unreasonable high water bills
High water pressure can absolutely lead to higher water bills — and it’s sneakier than you might think.
The good news is that there are ways to tell if you have high water pressure problems.
Pressure Gauge
Connecting a pressure gauge to your water system can be a practical way to identify pressure issues—but it’s a manual check, meaning you'll need to be physically present to take readings.
🛠️ How It Works
The gauge measures static water pressure at a specific point in your system—typically at an outdoor spigot or near the main shutoff valve.
You simply screw the gauge onto a threaded faucet or hose bib, turn on the water, and observe the reading.
Too low (< 40 psi): Possible leak, undersized pipes, or malfunctioning pressure regulator. Too high (> 80 psi): Could stress pipes and fixtures, often caused by faulty pressure-reducing valves or thermal expansion.
⚠️ Limitations
It only gives a snapshot of momentary pressure.
You must be present to read it—no automated monitoring.
Won’t detect pressure changes over time unless you manually check at different intervals.
Installing a Don Alarm is a proactive way to detect and prevent plumbing damage. It is a maintenance alert that provides a clear indication when the pressure exceeds the safe pressure level, which allows plumbing problems to be fixed before it is too late.
Unlike most plumbing devices that require professional and software installation, anyone can setup a Don Alarm. No professional installation or special tools required. In minutes, you can 24/7 monitor your plumbing system pressure!
Highlights:
24/7 Pressure monitoring
Alert when pressure is not a safe levels
Set points can be adjust, and can do high and low pressure alarms (DAK20 only).
