Hello:
I recently bought a repair kit for a Wilkins 70 water pressure regulator. The old regulator was whining with any water use.
I seem to have solid pressure (45psi) but it appears to spike when the hot water heater (gas) reheats (upards to 160-180 psi) but goes back to 45 psi.
Is this something to be concerned about and is there something I can do or do I need to buy somethingelse to install? The water heater has a pressure releif valve.
I read a couple similiar posts but I am not sure if my problem is the same. I am measuring the pressure from a hose bib sticking out of the back of the house. It seems to go up after the kids shower and for soem weird reason overnight - not sure what time - else it sits there happily at 45 psi.
Any thoughts feedback advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
