        "text": "A pressure reducing valve (PRV) is a plumbing device installed on your main water line that regulates and lowers the incoming municipal water pressure to a safe level for your home's plumbing system, typically between 50-80 PSI. If your home has high water pressure, a malfunctioning or absent PRV is often the cause. Part of a high water pressure diagnosis involves inspecting or installing a PRV to bring pressure within safe limits.",
