Pressure relief valve leaking

[New2CSV]

I've had a PK1A kit installed since 2015 and it's been working great.

Recently I've been noticing puddles on my basement floor.

I was blaming the kids thinking they were spilling when watering the dog :-)

Then I noticed water dribbling out of the pressure relief valve on the PK1A set up.

I watched the pressure relief valve for a bit and did some testing and noticed the pressure relief valve starts leaking when the pressure is showing around 50 PSI and stops leaking when the pressure shows around 60 PSI (the pressure switch is set to 40/60).

I'm think the pressure relief valve might be failing.

A few questions:
 1. How do I adjust the pressure relief valve? I took the cap off and I see a ring with hex shaped center, do I turn this clockwise to raise the pressure?

 2. Can I order just a replacement pressure relief valve from this website?

Thanks for the help.

Yes and yes.

I ordered the kit with the PRV from this website, while I’m waiting for that to get here I plugged the leaking PRV with a 1/2 FIP plug.

We were also experiencing loss of water while showering once in a while.

I thought it was due to the leaking PRV bleeding off water pressure but plugging the PRV did not fix it.

While troubleshooting, I ended up taking the pressure switch off the pipe and noticed the pipe was clogged with sediment I cleaned that out and everything is working as it should again.

A clogged nipple to the pressure switch is a common reason for the problem you were having.  Glad you got it working!
