Can someone advice me about water pressure in the pipes.

I connected hose to bathroom lever handle faucet and at the end is garden sprinkle gun. When I turn on the faucet and pressure equalize in the hose I noticed leaking in the faucet head.

Somebody told me that big pressure can make damage to the bathroom faucet head or return pressure to bathroom boiler? :confused:

I need to sprinkle warm water with a gun, that's why I connected hose to bathroom faucet.

My question is, should I be worried about water pressure and is it possible accident to happen?


Is there a difference connecting hose to a garden tap and bathroom lever handle faucet in terms of pressure and fear of accident?
 
No pressure difference. If you have leaking at the connection to the faucet, you simply have a leak in the connection. Make sure your washers are in place.
 
Only thing I can think it could do is cross the hot and cold lines if you have both handles open and your sprayer closed.

Don't think it could damage anything.
