I disagree.  Standard 'city' water pressure is 50-70 psi, and it's higher
than that in many places.  Last time I checked, mine is about 70 psi, and my
appliances seem to handle it just fine.

I did replace the 40 year old water heater, and the 25+ year old dishwasher
is about due; but I don't think high water pressure is the reason why <G>

The washing machine I bought new around 1982 was still working fine, but the
new wife wanted to keep her Maytag and we didn't have room for both of them.

And she's a lot more fun to cuddle up to than the washing machine!
