When the washing machine is filling, the water flow at the kitchen sink and other faucets is pretty low. Is this normal?
We have a Watts 135BM3 PRV near the water meter, no expansion tank. The pressure prior to the PRV is 120 lbs, and the pressure in the house is 65-75 lbs.
A plumber (here for a different problem) told me that there's a screen in the Watts PRV that is probably clogged, if pressure is good but volume is not. Does this sound correct?
The PRV has been there for at least 25 years, maybe longer. Should it be rebuilt or cleaned?
