Nice Job!!!
i live in a small city and city's psi is 80. i think it is still kind of high compared to this Gentleman over 100psi. anyhow great video
Why was mud put on the pipe near the meter? Let's make something else that we added look old. Clowns
Should always put valves in for gauges and leave them shut unless reading the gauge, asking for a problem when the gauge gives and nobody's home.
Would this fix what I believe to be my City's water pressure fluctuating? My suspended pipes under my house go to dancing for several minutes, several times throughout the day and middle of the night. Occasionally, the dancing goes for hours; but if I go shut off the water from the City, it stops instantly.
what kind of foundation is that ?
120 psi apa gak pecah tuh tekanannya terlalu tinggi
Awas lupa air nya belum dimatikan muncrat kencang banget
The water pressure in my house is fine yet here I am. Watching. Just incase the water pressure in my house changes out of nowhere.
I went to the plumbing supply store and asked for the parts to the demonstrated set up with two pressure gauges and they called me retarded. However this was a helpful video, installed the pressure reducer today and just checked the water pressure on the water hose spigot.
