Default Water pressure for hose

What exactly is your pressure?
I've got 120psi at my outdoor faucet which connects to my main incoming line
*before* the houses pressure regulator.

We're on a gravity feed system by the way, so in our rural area, thousands
of gallons tanks are situated above our town and are gravity fed to our
area. The only time I noticed a decrease in pressure was when I installed a
proper sprinkler electronic control valve. When I switched it back to a
manual ball cock valve I had plenty of pressure again.

5/8"
