Reducing static and residual by 10% creates a graph that will always give you a 10% safety at system demand. Reducing both by the same creates a nice parallel curve but won't give you 10% margin. Obviously it will be more, but what's the point of that? The non-parallel curves wouldn't intersect until there was 0 psi. 10% of zero is zero...see still have the 10% safety factor. lol
There's a county in Central California that requires 10% off of both pressures and the GPM....
