Pressure

Why water pressure matters to your heater

The City of Post Falls says its system runs at 65 to 75 psi on average, with lower pressure in the north of the system and higher in the south. As water heats in a closed system, the pressure in the tank rises further.

If the temperature and pressure relief valve drips or the discharge pipe is wet, don't plug it. A plumber can test the valve, check your pressure and see whether an expansion tank or pressure-reducing valve would help.

Water

Ten wells on the aquifer

The city's 2023 water report says its system has 10 wells and 5 reservoirs drawing from the Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer, and that chlorine is added only once a year, in the fall. Two other water districts also serve parts of Post Falls.

Electric

Lots of electric homes and renters

About 37% of Post Falls homes heat with electricity, the highest share of any Idaho town we cover, and about 36% of households rent. Electric heaters usually fail at an element or thermostat. Renters should let the landlord know first.
