Questions about this service
What is the standard setting for residential mains?
We usually set downstream pressure to 3.0 or 3.5 bar, which provides strong flow without strain.
Does this valve require an electrical connection?
No, it operates purely mechanically using an internal spring and diaphragm mechanism.
Will my shower pressure drop noticeably?
Flow volume remains steady while excessive destructive spike pressure is removed.
