1. A neighbor bought a pressure tester after his PRV failed and he had a leak. We tested several homes in the hood, and around 30% failed ( I thought they failed to closed?). My pressure was ok.
2. A month ago and a few weeks after one, a noticeable high pressure out of the faucets, for a few seconds. Tested the pressure again and ok.
3. After another month, ,noticing the high pressure at the start of faucet use more , and my wife said this morning the shower was only lukewarm.... I did not notice later in the morning. ( Higher pressure on cold water than hot??)
The house and water heater are 12 years old, no issues to date. I do not think it is a design flaw, and am wondering if I have a PRV ,or water heater issue.
I have zero plumbing skills.
