With new construction happening all over the metroplex, high water pressure for homes has become a problem. City water pump stations must increase the water pressure to reach newly completed construction sites. This occurs late evening or early morning hours when most people are not using water. This is a problem for homes with an old or missing
PRV (pressure-reducing valve).
To determine your home's water pressure, purchase a water pressure gauge from Home Depot, as shown to the left. Connect it to a hose bib and monitor
it over 24 to 48 hours.
Note: the red needle indicates the highest
water pressure reading. This is a non-warranty issue.
See Warranty or Questions
Note: Maximum water pressure to a
house should be around 75psi.
Most houses with this problem have 150 to 200 psi at night.
If you have a PRV it should be located in the front yard flower bed inside a plastic valve box. If you don't have a valve box in the flower bed then your house is built without a PRV. Since 2015 all homes have been required to have a PRV.
The water pressure entering a home must not be above 80psi.
City water supply pressure is around 125 psi to 200 psi.
All Culligan water filter housings are designed for maximum water pressure at 100psi. When the pressure is above 100psi they will crack as shown. This is not covered under any warranty. The filter housing can't be replaced until a PRV is installed or replaced.
Price for the filter housing only includes materials and labor;
Cost to replace the filter housing if someone else installs the PRV
$275.
To install a new PRV will be $1,595.
Price includes materials and labor;

Price will always include materials and labor;
(1) 300psi PRV with all connectors needed

· Typical single handle shower or faucet cartridge has to be replaced every 8-10 years because of old hot water tanks collect up to 6 lbs. of toxicants and sand from our water supply. The sand grands away the rubber O-rings, located inside each cartridge, it also affects the internal pressure balancing valve.
· Every tankless system manufactured has a 1-2 psi pressure drop on the hot outlet beca
This is the inside of a 10 year old hot water tank with several pounds of toxic materials collected which collect in shower heads and faucets.
