Increasing pressure is often easier than replacing the existing pipes with larger ones.\n<\/br>\n<\/br>\nHowever, high water pressure can cause problems, especially in older buildings where there may be no proper pressure regulator or where plumbing fixtures were not designed for high pressure. Most water fixtures are designed to operate at pressures of around 65 PSI or below.\n<\/br>\n<\/br>\nHigh pressure can therefore lead to unnecessary water consumption and higher water bills.<\/p>\r\n                                    <\/div><!-- \/.accordian-content -->\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div><!-- \/.accordian-item -->\r\n                                                    <div class=\"accrodion \">\r\n                                <div class=\"accrodion-title\">\r\n                                    <h4 class=\"accrodion-title__text\">Is There Really Air in My Water Supply?                                        <span class=\"accrodion-title__icon\"><\/span>\r\n                                    <\/h4>\r\n                                <\/div><!-- \/.accordian-title -->\r\n                                <div class=\"accrodion-content\">\r\n                                    <div class=\"inner\">\r\n                                        <p class=\"inner__text\">Yes.
