Thanks Myredracer. Your post is very helpful. I had already replaced the filter yesterday (it was due anyway, although it looked OK) and checked the filter screen. It too was OK. The flow rate at my faucets was the same before and after I changed the filter. The dishwasher definitely runs better with the regulator, but some places I need one, so the pointer to a good regulator is very helpful. I ordered a pressure gauge online yesterday so when that comes in I will be able to see what my current regulator provides so I can decide then whether to get a new one.
The dishwasher definitely runs better when I don't use the regulator (which would be an argument for getting a new one).
However, I am seeing 1 gal/min at my faucets even with the regulator I have (I know I said 0.75 in the original post, but I since learned that my 1/2 gal bucket actually had a measuring line inside it and it was more than that to the brim), so if the DW only needs 0.65 gal/min, this would indicate that there is something wrong with the line to the DW or the DW flow sensing mechanism itself. It might be time to try to figure out how to pull the dishwasher out from my cabinetry to see if there is a hose kink or not.
