PRESSURE REDUCING RO VALVE FOR RO SYSTEMS

Introducing our premium Reverse Osmosis Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV), an essential component for optimizing your Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems. This high-quality valve is designed to regulate and reduce the water pressure entering your RO or Reverse Osmosis Deionization (RODI) system, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

The Pressure Reducing RO valve is constructed with an NSF-approved thermoplastic  body, guaranteeing durability and reliability. It features standard 1/4 inch quick connect fittings, making installation a breeze and allowing for seamless integration with your existing setup. By controlling high water pressure, this valve protects your RO system from potential damage and enhances its efficiency.

Reverse Osmosis Pressure Reducing Valve: PSI

High pressure is tap water pressure over 70 psi - (if you want to know your house pressure, get a inline pressure gauge and inline ball valve). Most homes in the USA have around 55-60 psi. However, you need to install a PRV if your house pressure is greater than 70 psi.

Compact and lightweight with a 2.0 GPM (gallon per minute) high flow rate capacity, this PRV is regulated at 70 psi. Stop your RODI systems constant drain water! Stop cracking your RO system housings!

Get a reverse osmosis pressure reducing valve today to ensure your system is operating in safe conditions. The Reverse Osmosis pressure reducing valve listed here is rated up to 230 psi and up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

RO Pressure Reducing Valve: Dimensions & Weight

• Height: 4.25"
• Width: 1.56"
• Weight: 4 oz

To install, just cut your tap water supply line and connect both tubes to the PRV and you are done! Please see the arrow marked on the body of the PRV as this indicates the directional flow of water.

RO Pressure Reducing Valve FAQs

Why do I need an RO pressure reducing valve?

An RO pressure reducing valve (PRV) is essential for protecting your reverse osmosis system from potential damage caused by high water pressure. If the incoming water pressure exceeds 70 psi, it can stress the system's components, leading to leaks, cracks, and reduced efficiency. By regulating the pressure, a PRV ensures your RO system operates safely and effectively, prolonging its lifespan and maintaining optimal water purification performance.

How does a pressure reducing valve work?

A pressure reducing valve (PRV) works by automatically regulating the water pressure entering your reverse osmosis system. It reduces the high incoming pressure to a safer, predetermined level, usually around 70 psi. The valve contains a diaphragm and spring mechanism that adjusts to the pressure of the water flow. As the incoming pressure increases, the valve constricts the flow, reducing the pressure to prevent any damage to your RO system, ensuring efficient operation.

How to adjust an RO pressure reducing valve?

Adjusting an RO pressure reducing valve is straightforward. Most PRVs come with an adjustment screw or knob. To increase the pressure, turn the adjustment screw clockwise; to decrease it, turn it counterclockwise. It's essential to make adjustments gradually and use a pressure gauge to monitor the changes. Aim to set the pressure around 70 psi for optimal RO system performance. Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for specific guidance on adjusting your particular valve.

Can water flow backwards through a pressure reducing RO valve?

No, water cannot flow backwards through a RO pressure reducing valve. These valves are designed to allow water to flow in only one direction, preventing backflow and protecting the RO system from potential damage caused by reverse water pressure.

What PSI is needed for reverse osmosis?

Reverse osmosis systems typically require a minimum water pressure of 70 PSI (pounds per square inch) to function effectively. Optimal performance is usually achieved at around 70 PSI, ensuring efficient filtration and consistent water output. Low pressure can reduce system efficiency and water quality.

What are the disadvantages of a pressure reducing valve?

A Reverse Osmosis (RO) pressure reducing valve can restrict water flow, leading to decreased efficiency and slower filtration rates. It may also require regular maintenance to prevent clogging and ensure proper function. Additionally, it can increase the overall complexity and cost of the RO system.
