e thing that has been "danced about" here but not really emphasized is, a calibrated "hole" is not a pressure regulator, it is simply a flow restrictor.
The vast majority of socalled pressure regulators are just calibrated holes.
they work because the hole is smaller than your faucet valves, so they become the restriction only when you are actually using water.
As was stated above, when no water is flowing, the pressure in the pipes will equalize.
A Watts type regulator is a real regulator. the water pushes against an adjustable spring which regulates the pressure, not the flow.. They have a "dome" sticking out, and a T adjuster on the end of it. They coost like fifty bucks.
Those "regulators" in camping world that cost ten bucks and look like a short peice of pipe, those are just holes. They do nothing but restrict the flow to your shower
