    How much water pressure is too much, for running on the hose?

    Our neighborhood used to be 110 psi, never blew a seal or any issue feeding a boat on muffs. It did force the toilets to run. Ended up with PRVs on the toilets A few years back, a main blew feeding the neighborhood. After that, the pressure is now 75 psi You're fine at 90
