Fresh Water Hookup Pressure Reducer
I saw a video about hooking up to fresh water where the person had a pressure reducer with a gauge. Anyone know where these can be found?

I will talk about 4 different Reducer products here
Small 3/4 inch (About) Cylinders (1) (Standard) JUNK
Small 3/4 Inch (about) Cylinders (2) With wings or colored plastic grips on the female end (high flow) Junk
Valterra adjustable (with or w/o gauge) supposed to be good. I have never tested
SUR FLO (A Watts corporation) Standard on many RV's I give it a 9 on a scale of 10
Watts or Zurin "Whole house" mine are both 3/4 inch NOTE this is when new.
I hooked up my zurin and the up-side pressore was 100 PSI or more. adjusted to 50 PSI. STATIC. then I opened a shower FULL FLOW and that needle acted like it was welded to the 50 mark. Same for Watts when new. over a decade the rubber inside the thing gets stiff and you need to rebuild it
These units have a bell shaped upper housing .. The bolt that would hold a real bell to the yoke.. That is the pressure adjustment. About 60 bucks with hose adapters. NONE BETTER.
