The heated water pumped through the pipes gets cooled once the exit valve /mixer valve is opened. This results in reduced pressure in the system. So there is chance that air gets sucked into the tubes from atmosphere that causes fluctuating water shower ; or the tubes and reservoir can collapse under suction pressure. To avoid this a by pass connection for water is given through a vacuum valve. This valve is set for a calculated pressure in the system. Whenever pressure falls below this value it opens and allows extra water to enter into the system and thus maintaining the pressure in the system.

What would cause the heat not to work in 1998 Ford Contour Sport?

it could have a bad heater water control valve. the valve is controled by engine vacuum and the vacuum line to the water valve may have a leek or be broken In addition to the above it may have a thermostat stuck open, or a clogged heater core. Drain and flush the system, replace the thermostat, and install a 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and distilled water.


How does the anti syphon valve work?

The anti syphon valve works by only allowing water to flow in one direction. For irrigation purposes, it prevents water from the system from being siphoned back into the water supply line.


What is an anti syphon valve?

An anti-siphon (or, anti-syphon) valve is a device that prevents liquid from returning to the line from which it came if a siphon action occurs. An anti-siphon device is frequently required on outdoor irrigation systems to prevent possibly contaminated water to be drawn back into the water supply lines if water pressure decreases in the water supply line. An anti-siphon device is not the same as a check valve. A check valve allows flow in only one direction, and requires pressure to function. An anti-siphon valve opens to the atmosphere when there is reduced or no pressure in the line.

What is a check valve?

This is a device which prevents the reverse flow of air, water (which ever type of system it is installed on). A check valve is an anti-backflow device that keeps a gas or fluid from flowing backwards in a designed system if the pressure falls or goes negative. In your home for instance

What is an anti scald faucet?

Anti scald in plumbing, means just that.... The water coming out of the anti-scald fixture is mixed with cold water or regulated so the hot water does not scald(burn) the user. In california, all new shower valves must be anti scald which means they mix the water and also have a regulating adjustment on the valve itself that does not let the water burn the user.


Is there anything you can do to correct the problem of shower water changeing when kitchen water is turned on?

Yes, remove your old shower valve and fit a new Moen anti-scald valve. This will not change when other items are turned on.
