Water pressure to high ? π¦
4BM knows exactly what to do!
This is a quick PRV install we did a few months ago.
PRV stands for Pressure Regulator Valve.
It simply controls how much pressure can come into your home.
Reasons why this matters :
- The city doesnβt care what the pressure is.
- Some plumbing pipes are only rated for certain pressures. Exceed them and youβve got busted pipes π©
- Some appliances such a refrigerators (ice maker water line) and dishwashers have a max pressure limit.
So itβs very important to to know these things to avoid costly plumbing repairs.
How to check your water pressure?
Most hardware stores have a pressure gauge that screws onto your outdoor water spigot.
