Water pressure question

[phrogdriver93]

Bought an adjustable water pressure regulator. My setup from supply to TT is: in-line filter, pressure regulator, hose to TT.

With no water being utilized inside TT, pressure gauge reads approx 60psi. However, as soon as I put a demand on the system the pressure drops.

I currently have it adjusted so that the pressure reads 45 psi with the shower running.

Can someone provide some insight as to the proper setup and pressure settings to utilize? I feel like I'm just guessing at it right now.

you are running prox 10 PSI high
on both ends (high and low)


not a big deal
but
I wound not test the
pipes and connections in these THINGS
even with a lower pressure on our 09
two breaks so far

I believe the industry standard is between 40-60 lbs for city water pressure.

I set my adjustable regulator to 50 LBS with the water running.

City of San Diego
runs between 50 PSI
at the very least (only in a very few areas)
to 100 PSI in (very few) of the higher
average should be prox 75 PSI

at 50 PSI in most Cities
people complain much of low pressure

a regulator is required by code
on all new homes built
or when upgrading

note
pipes and valves used in RV's
are not as strong as
the same used in homes
no comparison
