Adj. water pressure regulators
Anyone found a good adj. regulator. Looked at reviews on several makes me wonder if any are worth the extra money??
Forum Discussion
Ok adjustable regulators fall into 3 groups I can rate 2 of them and pass on others comments on the 3rd
1: cylinders about 3/4 inch with hose fitting the male is part of the body the female is likely as well.. JUNK.. though they do work at LOW flow rates (I use one on a mister 1/2 gallon per hour) no good at all if you shower.
2: Valterra Adjustable I have heard good things
Watts or Zurin.. The link is NOT the one you want but the design is the same, Mine are 3/4 inch with threaded fittings and a hose adapter on each. NEW they are a "Solid 10" on a scale of 10. ZERO flow to Shower and toilet and the needle on a pressure gauge looks to be painted in place (Mine is set to 50 PSI)
As they age it's kind of like the old joke about Bo. Derek9-8-7-6 ) but you can get rebuild kits and replace the worn parts to put it back up to 10.
Alas my link to a Watts valve did not work.
