Also as a completely irrelevant tangential aside, but because I'm compelled to share the story now that I reminded myself of it .. bypassing the household regulator was in fact my SECOND idea. The first idea I had was just to open the adjustment screw all the way. It was only the next day after when I was in the shower when I learned why my house was set to 60psi. The shower valve is just a on/off type thing that you can adjust the temperature but not the flow. Full on 96psi out of a shower head sends out these little ultrasonic speed streams of water that hurt like heck. "Ow ow ow ow ow! WTF is wrong with this shower? Ow ow ow ow ow! .... ohhhhhhh."
