SAS replied to the thread Water Pressure Question.I'm all set now, but I thought I would pass along a suggestion to anyone in the future who might run into the same problem with the...

SAS replied to the thread Water Pressure Question.The purpose of the expansion tank is to change the water pressure in the system. Or perhaps a better way of putting it is to say that...

SAS replied to the thread Water Pressure Question.I gave it some serious thought until I realized that the other side of the wall was the tiled wall of the bath/shower.

SAS replied to the thread Water Pressure Question.Yes, the only potential fly in the ointment is if the bladder isn't 100% and starts allowing water to pass through. When I inflated the...

SAS replied to the thread Water Pressure Question.That was my original plan, but if you look at the photo in one of the previous posts you'll see that there is no room to connect the...

-
SAS replied to the thread Water Pressure Question.I think that may be the issue. I've lowered the pressure to about 50 psi and I'm going to buy a gauge with a lazy hand to see if that...
-
SAS replied to the thread Water Pressure Question.I was going to get another gauge, but I now have a more pressing issue. I just checked the gauges and they were both around 100 psi! I...
-
SAS replied to the thread Water Pressure Question.I'm guessing that's 1/2 psi/foot? It's about 4 feet, so that would account for about 2 psi of the 7 psi difference. For now, I've set...
-
SAS replied to the thread Water Pressure Question.So I've replaced the innards of the PRV and the everything seems to be working fine now. I do have one dilemma, however. The new gauge...
-
SAS replied to the thread Water Pressure Question.Yes, the sillcock is definitely downstream of the PRV. In fact, even the meter is downstream of the PRV. There is a shutoff valve...
