Reverse osmosis (RO) systems can be water-intensive. According to the EPA, "a typical RO system sends five gallons of water or more down the drain for every one gallon of treated water it produces!". Some RO systems can even run water into the sewer system constantly. This can increase your indoor usage significantly.

The FIRST thing you have to do is get the washer serviced so ITS valve turns off all the way. Regardless of whether the water supply is on or off, and 95% of them are on, the washer should NOT fill with water.

I realize the washing machine has a problem, actually more than one. It's 15 years old and I plan to replace it, but the replacement will cost ~$850. I thought I would deal with the valve first because even if I have to pay a plumber to replace it, it will cost way less than the new washing machines. Thanks, -Bruce

The water pressure regulator is a bell shaped device often located on the main line inlet pipe, usually near the house shut-off valve (customer valve) outside the home. If you have one it is very important to know where it is and how to check it.

I found this information on the symmons website. Your link showed 3 different valves, but this link may help you out. [www.symmons.com] If you know which valve it is, you should be able to get a repair kit. Edited 1 times.

I have a a Symmons Laundry-Mate washing machine valve and after 8 or so years, the shutoff isn't working 100%. When I put it in the off position, it seems like the water if off, ie. if I try to run the washing machine I get no water. However with it in the off position, in a few days I find that my front loading washer is 1/2 full with water, I noticed the first time the hard way as I opened the door and had a wave of water come out. Before I call a plumber I wanted to know if there is some adjustment I can try to make so that off again means off? I can't find the part number or a picture of the exact valve I have, but it looks similar to this one. The difference is with this version the source waterlines(copper) come in from the bottom while on the one I have they come in from the sides. [www.symmons.com] Any Help would be appreciated. Thanks, -Bruce

The flapper valve is what regulates water to the bowl. It is important that flappers are sized appropriately to maintain a proper seal needed for the toilet to both flush properly and control the flow of water to the bowl. Most toilet flappers are either a 2" or a 3" depending on the size of the drain opening from the tank to the bowl. When choosing a replacement flapper you will have to know what you currently have:

Over 50% of a home’s water use occurs outdoors, primarily for irrigation.  How often and long you water plants affects both plant health and your water bill.  To find resources on what type of sprinkler timer you have and how to control it, use this great website:

A water pressure regulator is a safety feature designed to prevent the water pressure inside your home from climbing too high or falling too low. Building codes require builders to install a water pressure regulator on homes when the street mainline pressure exceeds 80 psi (pounds per square inch). Most regulators are pre-set by manufacturers at 45 to 60 psi, which is the optimal pressure.

Most water pressure regulators have an adjustment nut that can be used to increase or decrease the water pressure. Incorrectly adjusting the regulator could cause water pressure to become too high or too low. Unfortunately, SMWD is unable to adjust pressure regulators because they are considered to be the homeowner’s private property. If an adjustment cannot be made to your regulator, it may need to be replaced. You may want to contact a local plumbing supply store or a plumbing professional for assistance.

Water filtration is not needed from a water quality perspective, but may be desired for personal reasons (taste, softness, etc.). SMWD advocates for systems that use exchange tanks that require regular maintenance via a service as opposed to RO systems or a salt based water softener. The latter systems can also put back extra salt into the wastewater, which means SMWD has to treat more salt at our treatment plants and our recycled water quality (TDS, total dissolved solids) suffers.

That is true, except for the fact that the washing machine is the REAL PROBLEM, and when it is fixed the water valve will be a minor inconvenience that you will NEVER have to worry about until you disconnect the washing machine.
