It's a little higher than we've had in the past; typically up north our homes ran 40 to 80 psi...as long as it stayed in this range, I'd never seen any problems with what appears now to be high pressure leaking. Haven't had any leaking (faucet dripping) for 2 nights in a row - so I'm thinking still that we were getting pressure surges over 100 psi and a regulator will do the trick to get is into a steady normal range. But, I'm going to miss those awesome skin scouring deep cleansing showers.
Thanks for input.
