May reason ba bakit 40psi in, 60psi out?

kung gripo lang ang ginagamit natin,
low pressure is bear-able.
but if we use the shower, less than 40 psi may not be efficient anymore. lalo na kung nagmamadali.

my pressures are also 40-60.
if shower is on the ground floor, with the right ducha (mine is basic model only), ok kahit 40.
if shower is at the 2nd floor. 60 psi is ok. 40 is medyo nakaka-inis.
shower at the 3rd floor at those pressures are... mag-timba na lang.

Im wondering, can the fittings, hoses, faucets, etc handle 60psi of pressure?

Sarap maligo pag malakas pressure hehe

PPR shouldn't give any trouble. They're tested to handle much higher pressures & are generally rated for 50years * around 70°C water temp.
A word of caution, sunlight exposure & chlorinated water(esp heated) will accelerate PPR aging. Keep pipes covered or embedded.

If you re-line your plumbing, do the loop system, doc. The distribution line starts & ends at the pressure tank.

Hello sirs, question.

Ganon ba talaga yung mga laminated floors? May ibang plank na may chipped color agad kahit sobrang ingat naman namin binaba yung mga item? Already talked to Wilcon at sabe nila hindi na pwede i soli since nabuksan na yung item.

Possible kaya na i cover using wood filler with color na? Similar to touch up paint na ginagamit sa kotse.

TIA!

Having my room redecorated - is wallpaper really more advisable vs repainting?

Repainting is 35% cheaper.

Pano yang loop system?

Larger than branch pipe diameter main line loops around your house. Start point is also your end point. Something like these...

Para ba equal pressure?

Better flow & pressure distribution. In a non-looped system, imagine a big usage, say laundry at the ground floor....this would rob a lot of the discharge flow rate & pressure for fixtures located post-laundry, esp the upper floor/s. If flow is limited, sometimes the end line fixture will risk not getting any water.
