Normal household water pressure varies by country and is defined by local plumbing standards.
Phyn monitors your average water pressure over a 24-hour period. A High Base Pressure alert is sent when that average exceeds the maximum recommended range for your country.
For example, in the United States and Canada, a High Base Pressure alert is triggered if the 24-hour average pressure is above 80 psi.
Typical water pressure ranges by country
Country | Minimum (psi) | Maximum (psi) |
|---|---|---|
USA / Canada | 40 | 80 |
Sweden | 30 | 105 |
Spain | 30 | 80 |
Italy | 40 | 60 |
Germany | 35 | 80 |
France | 30 | 80 |
Finland | 40 | 105 |
If you receive a High Base Pressure alert, prolonged high pressure may increase the risk of leaks or appliance damage. In many cases, installing or adjusting a Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) can help keep pressure within a safe range.
