HOW TO CHECK & ADJUST WATER PRESSURE

[@debramcdonald6192]

Love it when a woman shows you how!

[@loribarrett5002]

I recognize you guys as my plumber when I lived in Gwinnett Co! Y'all were great!

[@jasonparkinson7621]

I like listening to thick southern accents. It's like in the movies. Thanks for this informative video.

[@dwaynegray907]

Great video on how to adjust water pressure.

[@TappPlumbing]

Thank you Dwayne! We are glad you enjoyed it!!

[@paulandres8979]

Thank you for suggesting not to adjust pressure on an older valve. Saved me potential headaches. Guess I’ll be purchasing a replacement valve as my pressure is at 90 and the existing PRV appears to be adjustable since the screw is set nearly flush. But I’ll refrain from adjusting it after watching your video.

[@TappPlumbing]

We definitely agree with your decision! Good Luck and Happy Plumbing!

[@RealistCalif]

Great demo by both. Thanks

[@vladelmos]

Very useful video. Thanks a lot. PSI at my house was at 150.It broke faucet hose and the water take valve of the toilet. I adjusted it to 60 PSI.

[@janinemcnamara9672]

Thank you. This was so straightforward and simplified for those of us non-plumbing professionals. I wish you were in my area, I would hire you in a minute. I have not found any plumber willing to explain things clearly, or in many cases explain anything beyond what I owe them.

[@TappPlumbing]

We think it is very important you understand what you are paying for, so that when someone comes to your home you have some idea of what they are talking about!

[@H.pylori]

Excellent video. Was not sure which spigot to use to test the incoming pressure vs. the back yard spigot pressure. Now I wish you were in my city so that you could mess with the valve for me. Thanks and thumbs up.

[@aaronbaraiya3692]

this was the best video I've seen on the topic thanks

[@TappPlumbing]

Thank you for leaving us such a nice comment. We are more than happy to try and provide some good information!

[@aaronbaraiya3692]

@@TappPlumbing also do we need to shut the water off before testing with the gauge?

[@TappPlumbing]

@@aaronbaraiya3692 No , it is fine to leave the water on.

Good video!

[@user-ju3od5gy5q]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@TappPlumbing]

Thanks for the kind words and for watching our video!

[@clairelong4679]

I had a plumber out yesterday my psi was 92 so he replaced the valve thing but now I have vibration on my floors so he's coming back out The joys of being a home owner

[@TappPlumbing]

Sometimes homeownership can be a little challenging! Same as being a small business owner. I always try to keep things in perspective. We are truly blessed to have the opportunity to deal with all challenges that come with both. I am sure your plumber will get it figured out . Feel free to ask any questions if need be and keep us posted if you have time. Thanks so much for watching our video and commenting!

[@robotnik77]

Thank you.

[@lukepuye970]

Thanks

[@kidiraq8381]

Thank you for the video. My lines run exactly as you’ve shown. But my problem it with the 1st spigot the doesn’t have a regulator. I haven’t measured it, but it’s insanely high compared to all others and burst every hose I buy, no matter the grade. Super expensive and think ones make it a year. Department store bought ones, only weeks or months. Do I need to add a PRV to that line, or will a “Camper / RV Water Pressure Regulator” work? I don’t mind having one high pressure spigot, I just don’t want to keep buying and temporarily repairing hoses! God Bless!

[@TappPlumbing]

I am relatively confident a Camper regulator should work. I would definitely try that first, it certainly be easier and cheaper. Best of luck and please keep us posted if you can make time . Thanks for watching our video and God Bless you as well!!!!

[@markinvt]

I had that same Watts PRV installed 4 years ago. Just within the last week my water stopped running. I shut the main valve, detached the "exit" line from the PRV, and turned the supply back on. No water comes out. Is it possible the PRV just gave out after only 4 years?

[@TappPlumbing]

Nothing su me when it comes to plumbing valves, fixtures, or materials anymore. I would say it is possible. I am sure you are aware the real way to find out is remove it and then open the main valve . Keep me posted if you have time please!

[@connieflores7798]

What role does the red needle play?

[@phiveone]

the red needle functions as a marker for the measurement you are currently taking. When you turn the spigot off the black needle resets to zero so the red saves the value for you.

[@TJ-zi5li]

My house is on a cement slab. I do not see one of these in the supply lines in house. Is it possible that it’s installed at the street (city shutoff)?

[@TappPlumbing]

It is entirely possible that your prv and a shut off is at the street. They do things much differently depending on where you live. Since you are on a slab a great place to look is behind or on the side of your water heater. Around here they are also installed on the same wall as the washing machine. Do you know if you have high pressure?

[@TJ-zi5li]

I do not know yet. I ended up here from another video of yours, because my 10 year old Richmond water heater started dripping out of drain valve for no apparent reason. Thank you, for the helpful videos!

[@TappPlumbing]

@@TJ-zi5li You are welcome and thanks for watching!!

[@jeffwu1850]

Can you install 3/4 inch water regulator on 1 inch pipe ?

[@TappPlumbing]

That would not be the best solution if you can avoid it . I will say it is extremely important to have your pressure correct if that is your only choice. You might notice some drop off when operating multiple fixtures. Good luck !!!

[@francesco3207]

Mine is 35 too low. If shower is on little comes out of faucets. If irrigation is on then =can't shower

[@troylitle3116]

Do you have new pipes and did you take your flow restrictor out of your shower head?

[@Voteblue681]

Why two different readings?

[@Helloboby]

Not every line receives the same pressure

[@HauntedBranch]

At 1:29 they expline the two different readings.

[@TappPlumbing]

Thank you for your comment it is explained in the video:)

[@jzhou2106]

I like your accent

[@CM-fp2gz]

it both bugged me and intrigued me at the same time. very weird feeling.

[@terroralcrimen]

My pressure was at 45. I get enough water flow but I have been humming when flushing toilet, I already tried all suggestions on equalizing the pressure here on youtube but the humming persists, I even bought a new toilet.

[@TappPlumbing]

You may have to replace your pressure reducing valve. Flush the toilet and go gently try and wiggle the adjustment bolt on the prv. If you hear the pitch change in the humming noise it is time to replace. Good luck and keep us posted.

"Spig-ot" not "Spick-it"

[@TappPlumbing]

That’s hilarious! I remember long ago an apprentice bringing a code book to work and would read it lunch and ask questions. He asked me what a biddit was😂

[@climbbike1234]

A "plumber" using pliers to adjust a nut. Remind me to not hire you.

[@CJCalzo]

I guess you always have all the right tools all the time. since you just watched this I guess you can adjust yourself... why even state to remind you not to hire them? Like they would remind you! Great comment that means a lot!

[@climbbike1234]

@@CJCalzo If I'm making a KZbin video, then YES, I'd make sure I have the right tools and if I can't be bothered to do that, then I probably am going to do a crappy job of fixing your plumbing.

[@joelglanton6531]

You are joking right? I've been plumbing for two decades, I'm licensed and I have my own shop. I have never met a plumber that was any good at least, that did not use channel locks to adjust damn near anything. If you are expecting a guy to go to his truck and open up his wrench or socket set and grabbed the right size wrench or socket for every little thing, then I guess you are okay with him wasting time. I love it when people who aren't plumbers try to give their two cents on anything in a plumbing video, they always end up revealing their own ignorance.

[@robotnik77]

Jeremiahs always have a jeremiad. That's what they do. LOL

[@pastorlugo121]

Not everyone is a "genius " plumber like you...but a homeowner does not have a tool for every job. Your comment is out of line and unbecoming.
