Installing a water pressure reducer is not a panacea for all problems associated with surges and pressure differences in the cold water and hot water system. Insufficient pressure of the same cold water supply along with high pressure of hot water supply may not solve the problem of squeezing cold water. Each individual case should be considered comprehensively, everything should be taken into account, the condition of the risers, what is the water pressure in the risers and in the highways located in the basement.
I wished you had mentioned how pressure reducers can Create a Closed Loop system, and possibly having an adverse effect on water heater pop off valves without installing an expansion tank?
Hello here too. Can you recommend a good brand of water pressure reducer? One that keeps the water pressure at the same value, regardless of whether or not I have water consumption. Thank you
Hello. Here is a fairly good and reliable company in my opinion - far.eu/singolo_articolo.php?cp=22&cat=88&art=2845&art_univoco=56888&nome_articolo=Female-female%20brass%20pressure%20reducing%20valve%20with%20pressure%20gauge
CleverBill DIY> You wrote "water pressure reducer (regular)". I assume these two terms: "water pressure reducer" and "water pressure regulator" are the same thing. Is it correct?
The title says - water pressure reducer (regulator). You understood correctly that this is the same thing, just not a regular, but a regulator, from the word regulate water pressure:)
@@CleverBill-DIY thanks for answering, but maybe i was not clear. I was talking about pressure at destination (at the outlet shower or mixer when you close it) and not at the source (water pump). Upon rising of pressure: the only way here to MAINTAIN the set value of pressure is to = completely CLOSE the prv and block the flow. In fact i just went to a shop where chinese cheap prv's are sold there. The seller told me not waste my money on them because REGULATING/AUTOMATING pressure by these is just a lie. He said they only reduce pressure by a constant value (like a manual valve) and again the fluctuating (extreme over night) pressure will continue to fluctuate but minus the constant value reduced by prv.. Do you think he is right? Or it is only a problem related to cheap brand prv?
@@ngocehgayabebas2118 The in-house pressure will increase during night when cold water in the boiler is heating up and expands. This is not a pressure regulator, only reducer during tapping water. A boiler may need an expansion tank.

Very informative! Thanks for the interesting and helpful information, sell and continue to do such a video.
Informative, thanks

Es lo mismo solo falta decir que la calidad del regulador marca la duración yo he tenido que cambiar 3 en 12 años
Y el mas caro no ha sido el mejor
Will it completely close the water flow when pressure at the destination(outlet) rises above the setpoint? or just reduse its flow?
If the pressure rises above the set value, the device will hold the set value at the exit from it.

@@atadali9711mine also having the same problem. It increases pressure itself overnight. Infact, in a couple hours
@@ngocehgayabebas2118 aha.. So it is true. Thanks

What is the purpose of the disturbing noise n the background? Annoying, bye. bye.
Everyone has different preferences :))
@@CleverBill-DIY Agree on that, and mine is to leave noisy channels, too annoying.
