I read dozens of posts about water pressure regulators, are there really that many incidents of ruptured pipes? I have a regulator that I keep at 70 psi but I also turn off the water when I leave.

No, you don't need a $50 regulator.
Strange that there is no flow rating to the one you linked.
Here's one that's preset at 50 PSI. I have a similar one I've been using for years. You really don't want to go much higher than that because the lines aren't made to handle the pressure most of us are used to at home.
Many people never use a regulator. Yes, you have to put up with lower flow. But you don't ever want to find yourself having to replace plumbing. A regulator is cheap insurance.

Interesting timing for this subject.
About 2 weeks ago I pulled into a campground and for the first time ever, a campground owner cautioned me about the water pressure there. Told me it was real high and I absolutely should use a pressure regulator. If you didn't have one, what would you do ?
I used a Valterra adjustable model with a pressure gage until today. About 3 weeks ago, it started leaking a spray of water at one of the long casting joints. It is brass, was not a cheap model and had been in full time use for only about 4 months. Reading Amazon reviews, mine was not the only one to fail like this. Yes, I could call the manufacturer and maybe they would send me a replacement but I don't want another one, thank you very much.
I now have a Watts adjustable model sitting on the table in front of me to be installed tomorrow. So maybe all those folks that say to just buy a Watts do know what they're talking about. . . . .
