Water Pressure Regulator

[2112]

My regulator failed and I need a replacement. The Watts are up to ~$150 now.

Has anyone had any luck with these cheap RV Guard regulators or something similar in this price range? There are several that look identical. All the reviews on the different brands seem to be hit or miss.

Are these serviceable like a Watts?

Thanks

Ditto at least mine looks like that, not sure of the brand tho. I have no idea why you's need a $150 regulator.

As an power engineer, I am very familiar Watts. Get on line and ask about a rebuild kit or service for what you have. Unless it got frozen when water filled, it can probably be repaired.

Watts (lol) wrong with the cheap ole screw on plastic ones?
This is another one of those belt and suspenders things, save for maybe that one place that has phenomenal water pressure.

^^I agree, there is a reason the Watts regulator costs more. The RV Guard model looks like the Valterra regulator. Bad thing about a cheap model, just more expense, when you decide to toss it, and get a proven high quality one.

Myself...I quit using any, just fill my 60 gal fresh tank as needed, and have a great, consistent water pressure. Nice too, in case you ever have a water leak, you catch it right away.

I never used that particular one, but 1 is better than none in this case..

In ALOT of cases, "you get what you paid for" comes true, I have always believed that for the regulators...
