Never heard of the PRV before...I will look into that.
Ah so, sorry, I made an incorrect assumption there when I saw the part about the PSI gauge on the input. My bad.

PRV should be fairly near your water meter, just downstream, although mine is quite a ways down and my outdoor tap is plumbed in before it to take advantage of full city pressure for the garden.
