Low Water Pressure

Are you experiencing low water pressure in your house? Your water pressure may be weak due to a couple of reasons including low water pressure in your neighbourhood or your home's water supply may be restricted. Before you contact a plumber, you may want to check your home's Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) to ensure that the screen in this unit is clean. Your PRV is cone-shaped and should be located at or near where the water service enters your house. See the instructions below on how to check your home's PRV.
