What is the water pressure at my location?
Water pressure is based on the vertical difference between your location and the water storage facility. For every foot difference the pressure changes 0.433psi. Thus, a storage facility 100′ above your location will give a pressure of 43psi at your water faucet. Water pressure can be measured at any faucet in the building but is usually taken at the spigot in front of the building. A pressure gage, which screws onto the spigot, will register the pressure once the spigot is turned on. Gages can be borrowed at most hardware and home improvement stores, or from the water retailer.
