How can the water pressure be 60 psi at all hose bibs outside but only 40 psi inside the house This just changed last week?
Simple answer is it can't. Possible reasons for what you are seeing are: 1. Broken or inaccurate pressure gauges. - Most likely 2. If there is a check valve before the hose bib and there is a hose attached and full of water and that hose is in the hot sun, it might build up pressure. This pressure would instantly equalize as soon as you spray water.

From the question I'm not sure if you mean the hose bib that is attached to most pool plumbing for draining. If so that hose bib will discharge water only while the pool's pump is running. The water comming out would not be potable, and not very good for plants. I can't think what else it would be good for.
