Hi there!
About 2 years ago, we found out that our pressure regulating valve wasn't working correctly. When we would flush the toilet and go to wash our hands, the pressure at the faucet would go up when the toilet was finished filling. Someone from our city came to make sure the pressure coming from our city was correct, then they tested the pressure downstream from the valve and said that it wasn't regulating the pressure correctly. Now, the pressure in our pipes has begun to creep up. I adjusted the pressure down about two months ago, and now the pressure has increased again. My question is, can the valve totally fail and subject our plumbing to the same pressure that is coming from the city?
Thank you for your help!
