• Optimizing pressures in a distribution network

    I am trying to optimise is the performance of PRVs in a distribution network. Is the Darwin designer the best application to use for this in WaterGEMS? It appears as though I can only select pipes for my design group. Is there a way I can select the all…
  • RE: WaterCAD - PRV and PSV

    Are you trying to model a combination PRV/PSV? If so, please take a look at the following article I just created and let me know if that configuration will accurately model what you want. How to model a Combination Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) and…
  • Zero Flow after PRV valve in watergems

    Hi I have a large water distribution network modelling in watergems. in order to reduce pressures in a proper value, I have to place some PRV valves in the network. But when I put a PRV valve, and set the pressure, the flow in that pipe gets zero, resulting…
  • RE: How can I reduce my velocities in a watermain when the source is at 293m and the fire flow demand elevation is at 248m?

    Hello Abe, You can place a PRV by selecting the valve dropdown in the layout toolbar and then choose PRV. Alternatively, you can go to the Tools menu, select Layout, then PRV. In the properties grid for the PRV, take a look at the Initial Settings…
