Replaced WPRV, faucets still running

[waterdown]

For months, the bathtub faucet has dripped, or streamed unless you jiggled it just right. Then the kitchen faucet became difficult to turn off. Then yesterday the outside faucet was found running a steady trickle. Checked the water pressure reducing valve, and sure enough it was dripping. Replaced it today, reconnected, and all three faucets are still dripping or streaming. Have all 4 things (bathtub, kitchen, outside and WPRV) gone out this close together? Did the high pressure ruin the 3 faucets? Or is there somewhere else we need to look?

Purchase a pressure gauge that attaches to a hose bib faucet, and check your pressure.This will ensure that the new PRV is doing it's job, before you go all out on the rest of the faucets. Though if the high pressure did damage them, you very likely will have to rebuild or replace them.
