we have a well. the exposed above-ground pvc tubing froze and broke during the last snap. apparently, the pressure reducing valve froze and split as well and it now spraying pretty good. the question

I have a well. There is a check valve between the well and pressure tank. This is a tank with air above a bladder or diaphragm that compresses as the tank fills with water. Is this what you mean by a

I have a well, same setup Steve describes. It's 180ft deep w. submersible pump hanging at the end of the pipe. I've studied a fair amount about well systems, as I've had my share of problems, and I h

nope steve, that's exactly what I have and that's the tank I mean when I say cistern. I'm just not sure I need a prv between the tank and the house, because, like you said, the tank maintains between

it's downstream of the tank, between the tank and the house input. it's a pressure reducing valve. I have a picture and I can post it to a sharing site, I guess, but it just looks like the bell-shape

I can't say that you don't need this, because I'm not an expert and perhaps there's some sort of special situation I don't know about. But I can say that I don't have any such thing on mine. I haven'

now I'm not sure if I have a safety pressure-relief valve. what's that look I think I'll just plumb in a length of pipe to replace the pcv. if the fixtures explode, we'll know why. I can't say that y

My guess is that scott's system had a pump control that was cranked up to 70 psi shut-off pressure or maybe even higher in an effort to store more water/pressure per pump cycle. Then the pressure red

Usually this type of valve is connected to a water supply on the inlet, and the outlet is open to the atmosphere to allow the valve to limit the maximum pressure in the line. Is it possible that ther

I'm not sure if you're directing this to me or Scott, who was the original poster. In my system, the tank is connected to a brass "T" manifold. It has four threaded "ports". They are used for a boile

yup, that's what I'm talking about. in my estimation its purpose is to regulate the pressure coming out of the tank. I called it a pressure regulation valve because that's what it said on the box of
