Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a pressure regulator?

Municipal water pressure above 80 psi can stress pipes, fittings, and appliances, leading to premature failures. A PRV keeps household pressure in a safe, efficient range.

Is backflow testing required every year?

Many California municipalities require annual backflow assembly testing for irrigation systems and certain commercial connections. We handle testing and can help with the paperwork.

What's a sign my pressure regulator is failing?

Sudden spikes in pressure, banging pipes (water hammer), or a noticeable pressure drop are common signs it's time for a replacement.
