        "text": "A water pressure regulator is a valve installed on your main water line that reduces the incoming municipal water pressure to a safe level for your home's plumbing system, typically between 40-60 PSI. Signs of a failing regulator include fluctuating water pressure (both high and low), banging pipes, or a sudden drop in pressure throughout the house. A common first-party insight we observe is that regulators typically last 10-15 years, and their failure can lead to significant damage if not addressed. You might visually inspect it for leaks or corrosion, but professional testing is usually needed for definitive diagnosis.",
