This is often a tricky question for homeowners. The topic of water pressure can be a complex one that requires inspection and identifying specific problems. One way to be able to identify your water pressure immediately is to take a water pressure reading. A water pressure reading will tell you how forceful your water is in PSI. Generally, the optimal water pressure is anywhere between 40 and 60 PSI. The middle ground at 50 PSI is often the most common. There's an easy, low tech way to identify your water pressure. Run your laundry machine or dishwasher then try turning on a few faucets in your home. If water doesn't flow easily out of the faucets or shower, you may have a water pressure issue. If you want a more exact answer, check your local hardware store for an inexpensive pressure gauge. Hook it up to a hose faucet for an accurate reading.
