Even with a bad regulator, that is still way too high. Assuming you're not on a well, call your local water department.

Yes, you should be concerned.I tested my water pressure both inside and outside the house, and it's 130 PSI! This can't be right! No wonder my washer kept blowing water lines off their fittings!
Does this mean the water regulator off the main line is bad?
And how worried should I be about this?
By the way, that gauge actually spiked to almost 200 PSI when I first turned on the water. I had manually reset it before taking the pic.
Could the gauge be bad?
It's right. It's not GOOD... but it's right and fairly common too.I tested my water pressure both inside and outside the house,
and it's 130 PSI! This can't be right!
That's better. Glad you got it figured out deserthawk.Well, I'm a dope. I realized the valve I tested was actually before the regulator, not after. I adjusted the regulator, and with the water open its now around 55 PSI. Whew!
Be real sure since this practice is NOT common at all.I realized the valve I tested was actually before the regulator, not after.
Still. 130 from the city pipeline is damned high. I'd talk to the water department.Well, I'm a dope. I realized the valve I tested was actually before the regulator, not after. I adjusted the regulator, and with the water open its now around 55 PSI. Whew!
