Arizona is in Climate Zone 2 - Hot-Humid/Hot-Dry (light heating, significant cooling). Homes here typically have higher cooling demands than heating.
Several factors affect your water pressure:
Ideal residential pressure is 50-60 PSI. Acceptable range is 40-80 PSI. Below 40 feels weak; above 80 can damage your plumbing.
This usually means undersized pipes or high demand exceeding supply capacity. In older homes with galvanized pipes, internal corrosion reduces effective pipe diameter.
If incoming pressure is adequate but delivery is weak, check for restrictions (partially closed valves, clogged aerators, corroded pipes). If incoming pressure is low, a pressure booster pump can help.
A PRV limits incoming pressure to a safe level (usually 50-75 PSI). Most homes with city water have one near the main shutoff. They last 10-15 years and need periodic adjustment or replacement.
