Regulating valve

As high water pressure enters, the spring and diaphragm make it more difficult for water to pass. Conversely, as lower water pressure enters the valve, water easily passes since the diaphragm and spring are under less pressure. Thus, the water pressure regulator can regulate water pressure and be adjusted through the external screw that controls spring tension.

Cities require high water pressure for fire hydrants and for water to work against gravity and reach the top levels in multi-story buildings.

Loosen the lock nut, then, then you can either tighten or loosen the top screw to adjust the water pressure. Tightening the screw (to the right) will decrease the overall water pressure. Loosening the screw (to the left) will increase the overall water pressure.

If you are new to plumbing, it is best to contact a licensed plumber to assist you with this project and make sure it is completed properly.

To test your water pressure, you can use any pressure gauge that attaches to hose bibs or faucets. They can be found at your local hardware store or on amazon.

BioChem commercial water softeners eliminate magnesium, calcium, iron, and manganese ions from the feed water supply using premier ion-exchange resin.

You will need a water pressure regulator if your water pressure reaches levels near 80psi. In fact, building code requires water pressure regulators if psi reaches 80.

Water pressure regulators or water reducing valves help to regulate pressure that enters your home. Too much pressure can damage your appliances, pipes, and fixtures.

As mentioned, they are typically found right after the main water shut-off. This is so high pressured water can be limited before reaching the rest of the homes plumbing system and causing damage.

Commercial Water Softener System – The resin operates as industrial hard water treatment, removing hardness from the water and replacing it with salt that is regenerated on a regular basis.

Industries will use less detergent, see less hard water buildup, save money on repairs from unnecessary wear and strain on industrial equipment, and be able to achieve better results with less downtime if they use our water softening system.

Each BioChem commercial water softener system is backed with reliable tests, industry knowledge, years of experience and technological expertise.

Water softening systems at BioChem are available in a variety of configurations, capacities, models, and operating technologies.

This valve is frequently installed right after the main water shut-off and is needed on homes with high or variable water pressure. Without one, high water pressure can wreak havoc by bursting pipes, damaging plumbing fixtures, or even damaging appliances over time.

Pressure Reducing Valve

Adjusting the water pressure is fairly simple. First, go to your water pressure regulator and located the top screw and lock nut.

If you notice water hammering, misting sprinklers, dripping faucets, or variable water pressure, it might be time to replace your water pressure regulator.

The superior properties of the resins maintain the optimum pH value of the water while removing all bad odours, turbidity, and visible particulates.

However, this does not mean that they could be found elsewhere. Unprofessional plumbers or homeowners may install pressure regulators in other parts of the home.

A water pressure regulator also named a pressure-reducing valve (PRV), is a type of plumbing valve that regulates pressure as water passes through the valve.
