        "text": "Often referred to interchangeably, a water heater's pressure relief valve (PRV) is primarily designed to release water if pressure becomes too high, while a temperature relief valve (TRV) opens if the water temperature exceeds a safe limit. Most modern water heaters, however, use a single combination valve called a Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve (TPRV) that reacts to both conditions, offering comprehensive safety. When CG Plumbing Solutions replaces your valve, we install a new TPRV that addresses both potential hazards, ensuring your water heater operates safely according to current plumbing codes.",
