Frequently Asked Questions — Watts & Zurn Wilkins Double-Union Brass PRV Replacement in Westlake Hills, Steiner Ranch, NW Hills, Jester Estates, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Great Hills
Why is water pressure so high in West Austin, NW Hills, and Steiner Ranch?
Because Austin pumps water up steep Hill Country elevations, homes at the bottom or mid-slope of pressure zones receive 90 to 130 PSI at the street. When your brass PRV diaphragm fails, high pressure blows out water heaters, toilet fill valves, and washing machine hoses.
