Step 1 · Measure Initial Static Pressure
To begin, you must first get an accurate baseline reading of your home's current static water pressure. Ensure all faucets, showers, and water-using appliances inside and outside the house are turned off. Locate an outdoor hose bibb (spigot) or a laundry utility sink faucet. Screw the water pressure gauge onto the threads of the faucet, ensuring a snug fit. Fully open the faucet valve. The needle on the gauge will immediately display the static water pressure in pounds per square inch (PSI). Note this number down.
