What happens when a pressure relief valve goes bad?

When the valves go bad they start to vent when the pressure is not at the danger level. This can be just dripping to a full blown spray. There is not an adjustment on a pressure relief valve. You will need to replace it if it is venting and leaking water.

Can you bypass a pressure relief valve?

The relief valve and bypass path can be internal (an integral part of the pump) or external (installed as a component in the fluid path). An internal bypass simply recirculates the fluid within the pump, returning the fluid from the outlet chamber to the inlet chamber.

What is the built in bypass on a large valve used for?
