Another component to check is the material of your PRV. Instead, ensure your valve is made fully of brass. Many home builders use lower-quality valves; PRVs with plastic caps will often not even last a year. Finally, the reason many PRVs fail is that they are located in the ground which can be very corrosive.

To eliminate this risk, the installation of an appropriate backflow prevention device is required. It is the responsibility of the owner or occupier to ensure that no backflow occurs.

You may already have a backflow prevention device installed within the property however a containment backflow prevention device is required regardless of zone or individual protection. As Yarra Valley Water cannot guarantee the integrity of zone or individual protection on a customer’s site, we cannot guarantee the protection of the drinking water supply from backflow unless the site is contained by an appropriate device at the meter.

If your property is assessed as a High or Medium hazard risk, then you need a device. If this is the case, you must arrange for the installation of an appropriate containment backflow prevention device. Such a device must be located at the water meter, or all meters if there is more than one.

Given the right circumstances, backflow can occur at any property that is supplied with a water supply connection. If your property is considered a High or Medium hazard risk and you do not have a backflow prevention device installed, your property may contaminate the water supply.

The internal pipe work arrangements and the processes carried out on the site will dictate the hazard rating for the property.

You should always replace your PRV when you notice any of the above issues, but depending on the quality of your valve, you may want to replace it every three to six years. The best PRV’s are made of solid brass, no plastic parts. Keep in mind that you won’t want to replace your valve within its first year of being installed due to a risk for corrosion.

Besides improving the comfort level of your water when your water pressure is too high, PRVs have a few additional benefits. Adding a PRV can reduce water waste and improve energy savings. Most of our clients experience savings on their utility bill when less water is rushing through the pipes for the same effect. In fact, our plumbers agree that high water pressure is the leading cause of slab leaks, broken fixtures (as many can only manage certain pressure levels), leaky faucets, broken pipes, water heaters, and water softeners. Just like blood pressure in your veins, high water pressure can weaken your pipes ability to hold the water.

PRVs are located near the shutoff valve on your main water supply line where the water enters your house. A PRV’s main job is to keep the water pressure stable, even when water events change the pressure. For example, fire fighting trucks use a ton of water to fight fires. Because of this, it can affect the water supply levels and sometimes disturb the existing water supply. A pressure reducing valve prevents the water from flowing backwards into your home’s water.

Changing Water Pressure: You may notice that as you take a shower or do your dishes there will initially be high water pressure, but then it drops off starkly.

Pressureregulator

Pressure Reducing Valves, abbreviated as PRV, are valves that decrease incoming water pressure into your home. Although high water pressure is often seen as a positive, most homes should have a maximum PSI of 75. Anything above 75 can be detrimental to your comfort and home. Normal operating pressure is 60-65. This level of water pressure is more comfortable and better suited for your home’s infrastructure. Because of this, many homeowners choose to add PRVs to their homes for the health of their fixtures such as water heaters and RO systems.

The easiest way to determine if your Pressure Reducing Valve is working correctly would be to locate the arrow on the valve. This arrow indicates the direction of the water flow. This arrow should be pointing from the meter to your home or commercial property.

Unfortunately, the city can increase your water pressure at any time to accommodate new construction. In fact, having a PRV has been mandatory for all homes in Austin with a PSI of 80 since 1980; however, each jurisdiction can override that regulation if they choose to. Homeowners in Austin can take advantage of a PRV rebate, provided by the City of Austin.
