Pride Plumbing was called out for issues with a 40-gallon electric Rheem PROE40-M2-RH95 water heater - it was producing very little hot water, and the tank was making a strange noise. We started by feeling the unit's temperature and pressure (T&P) valve, and it was warm and there was water going through it. Then we checked the water pressure in the home, and it was at 165 PSI. So, we went outside and installed a new Watts LFN45BM1-DU-PEXXPEX pressure reducing valve (PRV) at the water meter, along with a new ball water shutoff valve and short new sections of PEX piping (connecting onto the existing black roll piping with new hose clamps). We retested the home's water pressure after installation, and it was 65 PSI.
