Water pressure regulator

[tsduke03]

I've read to much on this subject. I've been camping for years, but only a couple in a TT with water and all the amenities. Had not used a water pressure regulator until this last weekend because I keeping hearing you must use one.

I tried a cheap brass model on loan. Almost NO flow.

So now my question is, do I really need to spend a bunch? I see a lot of comments Watts, Watts, Watts, but is it really necessary.

This unit has decent reviews...

I know Valtera also has a better one but it's close to $50.

Those cheap brass ones actually work OK when they're new but over time the flow gets restricted. I used to buy a new one every other year (fulltiming). Then I got one with the pressure gauge attached to it - that one has held up for several years now.

"get one with the red ring or say high flow"

What is the red ring?

No you do not get one with the red ring or say high flow
