Hi,

I don't know what the water pressure is at my house, but I do know that it is very high/ strong. We live near the water plant- I assume that has a lot to do with it?
We've been through several garden hoses in the last couple years. We've bought regular hoses and the last one we bought was an industrial hose. They go bad very quickly, maybe every couple months or so. By "go bad" I mean they get stressed and start to burst and fall apart.
We always turn off the water at the spickets when not in use- one hose in front of the house and one in the back. We use the one in the back a lot more than the one in the front. The back of the house is where all the plumbing is.

Thanks for any input!!
D.:confused:



At my previous house, I've had hoses that lasted years...

You need to get a water pressure gauge to know for sure that your pressure is, if it high you will need to adjust you water pressure Regulator if installed, please see the images.

The range of normal residential water pressure is from 30 to 80 psi. Ideally, the pressure should be set between 45 and 60 pounds in most residential plumbing system. If the pressure rises too high particularly above 80 psi, plumbing fixtures and appliances (primarily hot water heaters) could be damaged or leak excessively
