How This Automation Works
Service interval reached or installation date anniversary → Client receives service reminder and appointment is scheduled
Monitor PRV Service Database
The system continuously monitors your client database and equipment records to identify pressure reducing valves approaching their service due dates based on installation dates, last service dates, or custom intervals configured for each client and valve type.
Generate Service Due List
When a PRV reaches its reminder threshold (typically 30 days before service is due), the system automatically compiles client information, valve details, service history, and preferred communication methods to create personalized reminder content.
Send Initial Service Reminder
The system sends a personalized service reminder via the client's preferred channel (email, SMS, or both) including their specific PRV details, service benefits, easy scheduling options with direct booking links, and your contact information for questions.
Track Client Response
The system monitors client responses, automatically captures appointment bookings made through integrated scheduling links, updates the service ticket status, and marks reminders as acknowledged when clients take action or respond.
Send Follow-Up Reminders
If no response is received within the configured timeframe (typically 7 days), the system automatically sends follow-up reminders with escalating urgency, alternative scheduling options, and can trigger notifications to your team for personal outreach to high-priority clients.
Create Service Appointment
When a client schedules service (either through automated booking links or manual entry by your team), the system creates a service ticket in your job management system, assigns technicians, sends appointment confirmations, and updates the client's equipment service record.
Update Service Records
After service completion, the system updates the PRV service history with the completion date, work performed, next service due date, and any recommendations—automatically scheduling the next reminder cycle and maintaining comprehensive maintenance records for warranty and compliance purposes.
How It Works
Pressure reducing valves require regular inspection and maintenance to function properly, but manual tracking of service schedules leads to missed appointments and emergency calls. This automated system monitors PRV service intervals, sends timely reminders to clients, schedules maintenance appointments, and tracks service history—reducing emergency callouts by up to 60% while improving client retention. The system identifies valves due for service based on installation dates or last service records, automatically generates personalized reminder notifications via email or SMS, and creates service appointments in your scheduling system. By proactively managing PRV maintenance, plumbing businesses reduce warranty claims, prevent water damage incidents, and build stronger client relationships through consistent preventive care.
The Trigger
The automation initiates when a pressure reducing valve reaches its scheduled service interval (typically 12-24 months from installation or last service), when a client's PRV installation date anniversary approaches, or when manual service recommendations are logged in your system. The trigger monitors your client database and equipment records continuously to identify upcoming maintenance needs.
The Action
The system automatically sends personalized service reminders to clients via their preferred communication channel (email, SMS, or phone call), includes details about their specific PRV model and service history, provides options to schedule appointments through an integrated booking link, creates a service ticket in your job management system, and updates the client record with reminder status. Follow-up reminders are sent if no response is received within the configured timeframe.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Automation
Pressure reducing valves should typically be inspected and serviced every 12-24 months, depending on water quality, usage levels, and manufacturer recommendations. High-usage commercial properties may require more frequent service intervals, while residential PRVs in areas with clean water may extend to 24 months between services.
