[Shop-talk] pressure reducing valve

[scott.hall at comcast.net]

we have a well. the exposed above-ground pvc tubing froze and broke during the last snap. apparently, the pressure reducing valve froze and split as well and it now spraying pretty good. 

the question is: do I need to replace it? the well cistern tank already has a pressure valve in it, and the pressure in the house is too low for my liking anyway. 

anybody have a well, and do you have a prv between the tank and the house? 

thanks.
