How much water pressure can it hold?

It doesn't say on the box, but I run mine at normal well pressure of 40 - 60psi.

I am not sure, I installed directly to city water pressure with no reducing. Believe it is around 80 PSI.

I use it with well water pressure about 45 psi Not sure how high you can go

a normal range of pressure running through sprinkler systems is up to 90 psi, I would not recommend more then that, unless you have a lot of sprinklers on one valve. Like 8-10 high volume sprinkler heads.

You will need a minimum of 15 psi and a maximum pressure of 100 psi. You can purchase an inexpensive pressure reducer that will prevent the pressure from exceeding 35psi and the valves will function fine at this pressure.

I do not know, but it works quite well with the water pressure in my house.

It holds the pressure as long as you want. You have control over it. If you want to, you can pump it up and then release the pressure as many times as necessary.

I don't know. It is fairly low pressure but I don't know the psi. It is definitely less that San Antonio residential water system pressure.

No, the holding tank should be able to hold a fixed pressure +/- a few PSI for hours. Make sure you are using a thread locker to seal your connections.

No, this model does not hold pressure. Good unit though. I have the same model that does, but its a fair amount more expensive.

I haven't measured it with a meter, but in the hot desert Sun of Phoenix we leave it on about 1/4 strength of regular household pressure for approximately 8 hours a day. My water bill only increases about $5 a month or so. I would assume not a lot, but it would depend on how strong you have the water turned on and how long you leave it on. We and our pets could not live w/o it. :)

I am having the same problem with mine. My friend tested it and found it works okay at some water pressures but not others.

You can adjust the water pressure. At low pressure these won't be problematic.

From what I have heard, it can handle 1000 gallons at low pressure. I guess rain water from a barrel would be very low pressure. As the company has suggested, I added a water regulator because I use city water.

I have been impressed with the water pressure. I was worried when I first got them because the plastic hoses inside were kinked and small. I actually bought and installed two towers in the same shower and both have plenty of pressure when they are on at the same time. My home is plumbed with 1/2 inch copper lines and has a pressure reducer at the main line as required by code. Do not use the measurements from the online instructions to install the tower because they are incorrect. Use actual measurements from the tower before beginning plumbing installation and drilling holes in the tile.

I also wondered about this when I first bought this shower head. We live in the country, we're on a well, and we have lower water pressure than you'd have in most cities. I have our pump set for 40 (lower) to 60 (upper) psi water pressure. I'm perfectly happy with the performance of the Speakman at this pressure, and I never removed the restrictor.

I was able to set it as low as 25 inches water column (27.72 inches water column equals 1 PSI), and calibrated it to 42 inches water column (about 1.5 PSI) for the application where it was being used. Specs say it can go as high as 5 PSI, though I had no reason to check it at that pressure. From where the adjusting wheel ended up being to provide the 1.5 PSI setting, there was still lots more adjustment available to set it higher.

I don't think water pressure has much to do with this unit, I am very happy with mine, it is more with pressure in the house, and I know water pressure is an issue in my house.

Holds about a gallon. Runs about an hour before needs refilling. Adjustable mist level. Sight glass on back shows water level.

Most water pressure is set to roughly 40 lbs. That is about average. My guess it that the bladder has less than 20 lbs. The internal bladder has got to be set lower than the max pressure or it will no compress.

Not toy knowledge. however, it serves my purpose in boosting county water pressure which is about 25 psi.
