BREAKING: March 14, 2023 The Environmental Protection Agency recently proposed new limits to tackle drinking water contamination from the toxic "forever chemicals" known as PFAS. The proposal targets six notorious PFAS: PFOA, PFOS, PFNA, PFHxS, PFBS and GenX.


The limits, known as maximum contaminant levels, or MCLs, are the highest level of a contaminant allowed in drinking water. The MCLs announced are 4 parts per trillion, or ppt, for PFOA and 4 ppt for PFOS. For the other four PFAS the agency is proposing using a hazard index which is a tool used to address cumulative risks from mixtures of chemicals.

The best way to start to protect your family:

Reverse osmosis systems: The reverse osmosis filtration process separates water particles from contaminants larger than 0.0001 microns with a semipermeable membrane. RO is one of the most effective HAAs removal technologies, but it's also wasteful around 1-4 gallons of water are washed down a drain for every 1 gallon of water purified. Common applications for RO units are countertop, under-sink, and whole house systems.

Nanofiltration: Nanofilters use a similar process to reverse osmosis, blocking contaminants with a membrane that allows only water particles to pass through. Nanofiltration removes all contaminants larger than 0.22 nanometers (depending on the filter pore size). These filters are most commonly found as under-sink units.

We just changed out our hot water heater, In the last place, we live we had a lot of lime buildup from the well in our tank. But the Woodstock Town water left a lot of mud in our tank. I am going to drain it every 90 days and put in a 3/4 inch ball valve and a hose adapter instead of the little plastic valve that came with the new water heater.

Does all of Shenandoah County have high water pressure coming from Town water supplies?

High Water Pressure in the Town of Woodstock VA

Permalink   

Most plumbing fixture manufacturers recommend their products be used with water pressure no higher than 80 psi. Anything higher than that can cause fixtures such as water heaters, faucets, shut-off valves, and toilet parts to fail prematurely.

The dangers of excessive water pressure in buildings: safety hazards include burst water tanks or boilers, clogged relief valves, and even building flooding and mold contamination.

We bought a townhouse on Waterbook Court in Woodstock VA and I had noticed when I was using the hose in the back yard that within a short period of time the hose would start to expand. I did not give it much thought I just figured the hose was not good. Then the lady that lived next door had a new faucet in her upstairs bathroom and the faucet malfunctioned 2 weeks later and the water was running for about 9 hrs., what a mess... it took a long time to get her place back, she and her 2 cats we staying at the Comfort Inn in Woodstock.

She was telling me that the water pressure is too high. So I went to Lowes and pick up a gauge that screws on the faucet for the garden hose and saw a reading of 116psi and it was going up higher in peaks I also saw 160psi. That night I started turning off the water while we slept. 

 

Water Source Water Test Pressure Gauge-WSPGH100 - The Home Depot

 

I have a pressure reduction valve and that was not working right.

 

Now I encourage everyone to put up a tester and get a handle on this crazy high water pressure. Now I know why my RO water filter system works for only 9 months and I had had to change the manifold 2 times in less than 2 years.

 

We had one that worked for many years in Edinburg on Well Water.

High Water Pressure in the Towns of Shenandoah County VA 

 

Strasburg VA Town Water Forum - Toms Brook VA Town Water Forum - Maurertown VA Town Water Forum - Woodstock VA Town Water Forum - Edinburg VA Town Water Forum - Mt Jackson VA Town Water Forum - New Market VA Water Forum

The most common source of high water pressure is actually the municipal water supplier. If you live in an area with a lot of hills or tall buildings, utility companies need to pump the water at higher pressure levels to reach all their customers.

High pressure can cause underground water leaks that may require leak detection or water line pipe replacement or repair. 

Most emergency leaks typically have high water pressure caused by failed regulators or no thermal expansion relief device. Pressure regulators come in all sizes. The common preset pressure is 40-60 PSI.
