Unfortunately, there’s no regulatory maximum limit for mains water pressure in the UK. But call your water supplier and kick up a stink. Point out that some electric showers have a safe working pressure of only 5 bar, and 70 psi is getting too close for comfort to this figure. If they don’t want to know about your problem, as a last resort, mains water pressure reduction valves are commonly available.
