city water connection
I would like to increase water pressure in my TT. It's permanently hooked up to city water. Is it a good idea to remove check valve for good? I believe it's not working correctly. Thanks. Rich

I worked for a water utility. The water, according to the AWWA standard can be no lower than 20 psi. On the other hand, taking readings at hydrants near plants, we put out close to 110 psi. The lowest in our system was 55 psi. Believe it or not, your insurance company can raise or lower your policy cost if the pressure near your home does not fall into those guidelines. Every year I had to take a representative out and do fire flow tests for insurance purposes.
