I figured 50 but it is a 93 model.I think what i will do is get a gauge and see what the pump is putting out at the faucet and let that be the judge.

Good figuring... On man motor homes the seals on some of the valves start to pop at around 60 PSI, 50 is a good margain of safety.. The pipes can take 100 or more but the valves can not.

I have several pressure regulators and have found the folloiwng.

The brass or plastic cylinders (Regularo ones) Major flow restriction.

The "High Volume" or High Flow" ones. Still major flow restrictions

Sur-Flo, this is the one built into most motor homes.. Good but under test Static pressure 50 PSI,, (By the way that is what it is set to). Dynamic (Dog shower) 10.

Watts 3/4 inch, 10 years old.. I think it's shot. static 50, Dynamic 20

Brand new took it out of the box Wed, ZURIN (A Watts Knockoff) 3/4 inch, Static 50, Dynamic 50..

ME: HAPPY!

the one you like like,Is it a zurn and what model is it.Do they have any with gauge combo.
