I installed a Watts N55B Water Pressure regulator (replacing a 6 year old Watts N35B). Anyway, the reason I replaced it was because my water heater's T&P valve kept going off and ultimately the water heater had to be replaced.
Then, I ran some tests by cutting the WH completely off and realized the water pressure in my house was over 80psi (not sure exactly what it is/was, but I knew it was above 80 since my Watts Thermal Expansion relief valve was flowing constantly). So, I purchased a new Watts PRV and installed. The problem is: when I turn on any faucet, I get a burst of water (over 80psi) and then it reduces to something that is not sufficient for the rest of my home. Basically, I cannot get water pressure on more than 1 faucet at a time. This, by the way, is without the water heater being turned on for over 24 hours.
What could be my problem? I'm confused, the water pressure is too high initially, but then it drops down too low.
