About a month ago my wife and I noticed a lower flow at the faucets... not a huge amount lower, but I'd say 20-25% lower flow rate. I called out my water company and they tested my water flow at my front outside spiggot at my house... problem is they were testing it BEFORE my pressure-reducing valve, so they thought my water pressure was 120. Not so... at my back spiggot (which of course is after my PRV), the pressure is showing 80PSI... still a little high but not that bad. Now I've noticed when my wife flushes the back toilet sometimes I will hear a little bit of pipe banging or hammering going on.
Low flow, possibly a little bit of high pressure and some banging is essentially what I have... could that just be the PRV needing to be replaced? Thanks!
