- 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
