I take it none of you that (Must have 50+WP) ever DRY Camp! Our unit works just fine with the Factory installed water Pump,and you know they put out (NO where near 50+PSI and very LOW GPM)! Now we do have a 5gal pressure tank but PSI is still way Under 40PSI! We have our City water Reg. set at 40PSI and see NO diff from our pump! Youroo!!

When a person turns on a water item in a RV they should receive the Same output (City or Pump)! If they need (60+PSI) to achieve this output they have Issues! I was replying to the Posts that said they needed High PSI. Youroo!!

Pressure regulator
I have been using a adjustable pressure regulator ever since encountering
water pressure of 115PSI at a KOA campground in Forsyth, GA. The pressure was so great, it was blowing the fresh water hose out of the fitting
connection on the side of the RV. I set the adjustable regulator @ 50 PSI
max. Works great.
The only problem is the hand on the meter is not pressed on tight enough, had to replace the meter with a better meter.
Valterra A01-1117VP Brass Lead-Free Adjustable Water Regulator.

I'm curious as to how well that one works. Let us know after you try it out please. Jerry

Hey Stoney. I was looking at this model as well. Did you happen to go through with the Fairview and what do you think of it?

It has been years since the lead was taken out of plumbing solder since lead is carcinogenic. However, just recently I was buying a brass plumbing fitting (on Amazon), was warned it was not not lead free and not to be used for potable water.
In reading this thread, I thought about updating my water regulator to a Watts H560G. Yes, it is sold somewhere, but it has been discontinued and replaced by the FFH560G (Lead-Free model).
I thought the FR forum should be aware of this.

Don't know what the MAX pressure would be, but on my ShureFlo the pressure coming out of the pump is adjustable via a set screw. However, increasing the pressure will not help much unless the pump has a fairly high GPM rating, which mine does not.
Boowho??

I did buy it but haven't yet used it maybe because I haven't had any water pressure issues lately. When I do have issues I'll check to see if it works.

Dan, that looks like a great find. It states that it is factory set to 45 psi. Can the output pressure be changed?

I do put it at the spigot, but maybe I should look at putting it in the water bay as I am prone to forget it sometimes.

Yes it is adjustable. I have mine set around 50 psi. I think Phil says that 55 psi works best for his Gerard heater.
Matter of fact, I recall we got it to help stabilize the hot water temperature.

It seems to me that is not enough pressure at the inside fixtures. Can I go higher without blowing the whole plumbing system apart?? If so, how much??

When I was in Goshen mine was set at 60 PSI no problems, when you hear like a whistle when you open a facet to much pressure...
