Yes and I have the one you described that shows the maximum pressure so in my case, I know the water pressure never exceeded 80 psi. Typically our water pressure varies from 65-70psi here in Osceola Hills. I can understand Nova's position because the filter canisters have a maximum working pressure and if you exceed that, they can start to crack and eventually fail. I also know that Nova has installed thousands of filters over the years and if there were a problem there would be a ton of reports by now you would think?
