Pressure Reducing Valve Installation
Understanding the Problem
Most homes in Summit and Wasatch Counties receive municipal water at pressures well above what interior plumbing and appliances are designed to handle. High incoming pressure is one of the leading hidden causes of premature appliance failure, burst hoses, leaking fixtures, and voided warranties — and it's often invisible until something breaks.
Water softeners, water heaters, reverse osmosis systems, dishwashers, and washing machines all have specific pressure requirements to operate safely and maintain warranty coverage. Without regulation, every appliance in your home is running under stress every time you turn on a tap.
Our Solution
A pressure reducing valve is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to protect your entire plumbing system. Water Science installs PRVs inline at your main water entry point, regulating incoming pressure down to a safe, consistent level before it reaches any appliance or fixture downstream.
Our technicians handle sizing, installation, calibration, and pressure testing — and we coordinate the install alongside your softener, water heater, or RO system so your entire water setup works as one integrated system. If you're purchasing new water treatment equipment from us, adding a PRV at the same time is one of the most valuable investments you can make to protect it.
Key Benefits
- Warranty Protection: Most appliance warranties — softeners, water heaters, RO systems — require regulated pressure to remain valid.
- Extended Equipment Life: Running appliances within their designed pressure range significantly extends how long they last.
- Leak & Burst Prevention: High pressure is a leading cause of hose failures, pipe bursts, and fixture leaks.
- Quieter Plumbing: Regulated pressure reduces water hammer and fixture noise throughout the home.
- Professional Installation: Installed inline at the main water entry, calibrated to the correct PSI, and pressure-tested before we leave.
Why Choose Us
A pressure reducing valve is a small investment that protects every other water system in your home. When Water Science installs your PRV, softener, water heater, and RO system together, every piece is calibrated to work in harmony — and every warranty is preserved from day one.
