What is a normal water pressure level for home?
A city water hookup should be around 60psi.
How can you get water to boil at 170 degrees c?
Water at ambient atmospheric pressure boils at 100C. One way of raising the boiling point is to raise the surrounding pressure. If you raise the pressure surrounding the water to about 93 psi above atmospheric, it will boil at about 170C. Do not try this at home! Boiling water at this pressure is extremely dangerous and can severely burn you.
Can water pressure crush a human?
The pressure of water in the organism is equal to the outside water pressure. This is entirely because the organisms dwelling on the seabed evolved in the presence of high pressure water and formed their cells based on high pressure water. You are unaware of the atmospheric pressure for the same reason, the internal pressure beneath your skin is also atmospheric.
Why are you losing pressure on the hot water side through out your home you have no leaks?
Check pipe size for hot water or if galvanized pipe used, pipe could be clogged inside with rust and scale.
What does it mean when the water pressure in your house is low?
If you are on a well it means you have a problem in the pressure tank. On city water means pressure in general is down, or your PRV is failing.
What does water pressure mean?
Water pressure refers to the pressure of water in a system. In a home it will be 30-50 psi typically and this is governed by the municipal pressure or by a well tank.
How does water come out of taps?
It is pumped into your home water system by the city water supply, or if you have a well, it's pumped into a pressure tank and then into your home. Either way when you open a faucet (essentially a valve) the water will come out.
Can a water pressure regulator in a mobile home go bad. I have no pressure?

Is the amount of pressure in a gas powered pressure washer dependent on home water pressure?
No, it most cases it it the GPM demand
When your water softener cycled why did water come out of your upstairs toilet?
While I have never hears of this situation actually occurring, here is a possible explanation. When a water softener is installed, it creates a small pressure drop in the plumbing. typically a loss of 5-15 psi in water pressure to the home (higher pressure loss when the water is flowing more quickly). When a water softener is cycling (regenerating) it goes into a bypass mode where the pressure loss is removed so during regeneration the water pressure in the home is slightly higher. This slight increase in pressure *might* exlain possible differences in performance of a toilet in the home.
How do you test water pressure in residential home?
you get a pressure gauge that screw onto laundry or garden faucet
How do you measure home water pressure?
Go to Home Depot and get a pressure guage the will screw on your water hose faucet.
How does water get to your home?
It either comes in a city 'water main' under the street, then into your home in a 1" pipe, or it comes from your well, into your home pressure tank.
