the pressure is controlled by the water company, shouldn't be an issue with instant on heaters.

If you have a hot water tank the pressure is controlled by the expansion tank, many go bad in 3 -5 years.

the bladder gets damaged and the unit fills with water allowing the pressure to exceed 90-100


most are not pre set at 65psi by the plumbers, the factory sets them at 40-45.

they are <$50 at HD or Loews

I get several calls a month on this issue Nova filters have pressure gauges to avoid this problem

call for more info
