Some packages Nex Flow provides include the manual shut-off valve when manual control is commonly used.  Sizes available are 1/8” and ¼”, standard sizes offered in various product packages.

SMWC’s service area is divided into several pressure zones. Our reservoirs are located at a higher elevation than the area it serves so water can flow by gravity. Homes that are at the lowest elevation from the reservoir will have higher pressure. In higher pressure areas customers can adjust or install a pressure regulator to reduce the water pressure coming into their home. If your water pressure is high your pressure regulator may need to be adjusted or serviced. We recommend a qualified plumber make adjustments to your pressure regulator since incorrectly adjusting the pressure regulator can damage household appliances.

Manual valves allow an individual in charge to determine when the application needs to operate and when it can be turned off in this application where manual control is necessary.

Shut-off valves allow for the safe control of compressed air in pneumatic applications and are used in various industries. Shut-off valves are also useful accessories to stop the air supply in controlled conditions where a process must work correctly and safely.   They can be supplied if they are required in other applications apart from use with Nex Flow products.

If your water bill is higher than normal, you might want to consider the following possibilities to help you determine the cause before you give us a call.

Water to your property can be shut off to detect leaks and make repairs in two ways. A “house valve” shuts off water to the inside of the home. It is often located on the riser where water enters the house. A “customer valve” shuts off water to both the inside and outside of the home. It is often located on the customer side of the water meter on the side closest to your house.

Many homes are equipped with a pressure regulator. Pressure regulators are bell shaped devices that are usually located on the inlet pipe next to your hose bib and house valve. They may also be located in the ground at or near your water mater. Pressure regulators are used to adjust the water pressure to an appropriate pressure for your home. Pressure regulators cannot increase the pressure beyond what is supplied by SMWC in your pressure zones.

If you are still experiencing water pressure issues after troubleshooting these areas, please contact SMWC at (909) 795-2401.

If you are experiencing a problem with the water pressure at your property, whether it is lower than usual, higher than normal or fluctuating, there are a few things that you can check yourself before calling us.

Water leaks can occur both inside your home and outdoors. SMWC is responsible for maintenance and repairs to the water system from the street to your water meter. The customer is responsible for any necessary repairs beyond the water meter away from the street. SMWC is not able to check for or repair leaks on a customer’s property. Common causes inside your home can include leaking toilets, dripping faucets or showers and leaking water pipes. A few examples of leaks outdoors include leaking sprinkler heads or valves, leaking hose bibs and service line leaks. Finding and fixing leaks in and around your home will not only conserve water but save you money as well.

Manual shutoff valves are offered as an option to turn the air supply on and off to any Nex Flow product.  The valves supplied by Nex Flow are two-way ball valves in either brass or stainless steel construction depending on the application.

Please do not try to operate the valve on the water company’s side of your meter (the side closest to the street). This valve is for water company use only. Damage to this value will result in the customer being billed for repairs.
