Pressure Reducing Valve

Whenever pressures are discovered to be over 80 psi, a Pressure Reducing Valve (P.R.V.) or similar mechanical regulator should be installed. The regulator will ensure that, beyond the point of installation, the water pressure will never exceed the safe limit.

Note: A Pressure Reducing Valve may negatively affect the performance of an irrigation system. Installing the regulator beyond the irrigation system’s tie into the water supply will prevent such problems. Also, when installing a P.R.V., the system becomes a “closed” system. Please see the Thermal Expansion section for more information.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the auger service that was performed at my house this morning. When I tried to flush the toilet this morning, it backed up and would not go down, not even a little. I called your company at 9:08 am and requested service as soon as possible. At approximately 9:30 am, the technician (Carlos) arrived and, through my description of the problems we have had (including bubbling toilets while showering), he diagnosed the problem and got to work. While it seems this was a simple clog (no roots in the line), he was still finished very quickly. All of the work was completed at 10:10 am. It only took One Hour and Two Minutes from the time I called the dispatch until the work was completed! Carlos was very friendly, very fast, and very professional. I don't think I've ever written a letter like this to a company before, but I am so impressed by the promptness and ease of service that I felt I just had to! Thanks for your hard work and I won't hesitate to recommend you to my friends, family, and co-workers! Adam Wood
