Understanding Water Pressure And P.S.I. - A Quick Tutorial

Many folks have concerns about the level of water pressure inside their homes or properties. However they might not understand the relationship between water pressure and p.s.i. Pounds per square inch = p.s.i., and it has a direct relationship to the water pressure inside your home, or any other type of building. Unless you have a water mechanical pump, or rooftop water tank, your water pressure is a direct result of the height of your source of water supply. Meaning that water does not run uphill, water pressure is generated by gravity. In mathematical terms, every 1' of column of water generates .434 p.s.i. of pressure. Another way to look at it that every 2.31' of column of water equals 1 p.s.i. In NYC that is why you see rooftop water tanks on buildings taller than 6 stories high.
