My home has a fire sprinkler system. Today I found that there is water leaking from the pipe. It is about one drip every 5-6 seconds. The location is labeled by the pink color in the pictures. There is a pressure-reduce valve after the water meter. I donot know the name of the component of leaking. It is after the pressure-reduce valve in the fire sprinkler system. The leaking is from underneath of this component. Is it easy to fix?
Actually today I noticed that the water pressure in the fire sprinkler system is a little bit of high (about 85), it should be 75. So I shut off the water valve in the fire sprinkler system and release the pressure by opening the drain. Then I turn on the water valve in the fire sprinkler system. I think that this leaking is after I did this. Did my operation cause this leaking? Now the water pressure in the fire sprinkler system come back to 85. The water pressure problem also happened about two years ago ( the pressure was 125). I did the exact same operation to reduce the the water pressure. The water pressure remain 75-80 during last two years.
Now it seems that my method to reduce the water pressure is not working any more. Does it mean the water-pressure valve in the fire sprinkler system has some problem, and I should replace it?
Thank you very much
