Anyone used them and rate them?

My parents have a holiday apartment and it's a requirement of the
insurance co that the water is turned off when the place is unoccupied.
Looks easier than shifting all the ****e in the kitchen cupboards to get
to the stop tap everytime someone visits the place.

There is also a PRV needed as the water presure is at 12 Bar. Any reason
I cannot fit this before the water meter? It would make the job a lot
easier if I fitted it before the meter.


12 bar? Jeebus... Mine was 7.5 and that was excessive.

Caleffi PRVs are extremely reliable IME (I have one):

No reason not to fit the PRV before the meter.
