Hello folks, first post to this forum.
I found a related thread from '07 - https://terrylove.com/forums/showthread.php?22151-What-is-Recommended-Water-Pressure .
My house pressure as measured at an outside spigot is 100 psi. When I run the kitchen faucet, it dropped to 75 psi (100/75).
I turned the PRV ~1 rotation CLOCKWISE and had the following readings: 100/80
Another turn CLOCKWISE and had the following readings: 100/100 (this was as far as the PRV would turn in this direction)
Recognized the trend and turned the PRV ~3 turns COUNTERCLOCKWISE and had the following readings: 100/70
This is similar to what wraujr observed in the aforementioned thread.
Question:
why does the pressure return to 100 regardless of the PRV setting?
preparing to install a simple irrigation system directly off the outside spigot. Should I go with the 100/70 setting?
Thanks in advance for your insights,
