My sis house had the same issue in every 6 months sure will have water leakage at the pvc pipe joints or bidet hose bursting in the middle of the night due to high static pressure & the after effect of water hammering.
After installing the PRV after the meter, it did reduce the impact of water hammering & also able to reduce the static pressure when no water being flow/use. It's been almost a year & no more leakage or hose bursting.
Before PRV:-
Output pressure from main pipe: 5 bar(daytime) & 5.5bar(midnight)
Water hammering pressure: 7 - 9 bar (daytime) & <10bar(midnight)
After PRV:-
Satic pressure set to 4 bar
Effect of water hammering reduce to 4.5 - 5.5 bar.
The only downside that might caused by PRV is that the flow pressure will reduce when more than one output is open.
This is what i been experiencing these years, i already redo whole unit piping and even after that the joint at bidet always burst every 6mo exactly. May i know how is your pressure valve working so far? Becos my apartment here during day time the pressure is just nice but after around 11pm then the pressure become crazy..idk if i install the pressure valve then my water will become very slow during day time or notAfter installing the PRV after the meter, it did reduce the impact of water hammering & also able to reduce the static pressure when no water being flow/use.
