Phyn sends a High Base Pressure Alert when your home’s average water pressure stays above 80 psi over a 24-hour period.
Why this matters
Consistently high water pressure can:
Put extra stress on your plumbing
Increase the risk of leaks
Shorten the lifespan of appliances like dishwashers and washing machines
What you should do
If you don’t have a Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV):
We recommend having one installed. A PRV helps regulate incoming city water pressure and protects your plumbing system.If you already have a PRV:
The pressure setting may need to be adjusted lower. A licensed plumber can help with this.
Note: After a PRV is installed or adjusted, it can take up to 48 hours for the updated pressure readings to appear in the Phyn App.
