Water pressure problem

I thought a pressure regulator was on the customer side. We had a plumber come out and install one for us for the same problem. Buckeye has a flow control valve you can install on the ro supply. I thought it ran around $3-4.

It is, I don't actually have one. I'm thinking about getting one installed though since that kind of pressure is enough to cause problems with more than my RO unit. I'm still going to call NBU and have them check it out but the flow regulator valve may be something I'd like to get as an insurance policy in case this happens again. Do you happen to remember what it cost you to have a plumber install one? I saw them at Home Depot but since it goes on the metal part of your pipe, I don't know tat I'm brave enough to mess with it. If it was PVC, maybe.

LOL! I misspelled spigot "s p i c k e t". Spigot is an outside faucet.

I replaced my regulator last year when I noticed my pressure was going over 100 psi late at night. Most of your flexible connections in your home are not rated for over 100 psi and may start leaking. I had this issue and only found it when I woke up at 2am to hear it. By the morning the pressure was below 100 and no leak. Just attach it to your meter after the valve with a union, install a 4" nipple and then a cutoff of some sort and change back to pvc. Takes about 20 minutes.

Here's a link to Carl's sponsor section. May want to call him for a current price.
