Options for quality water pressure regulators
    #27648452 - 02/06/22 03:45 PM (1 year, 11 months ago)

Every float valve I've tried requires very low water pressure to work properly. I'm looking for a top quality regulator I can depend on.

So far bought 3 of these off Amazon



One works OK but the pressure drifts eventually and I have to adjust it, one cracked and started leaking for no reason, and one won't turn down lower than 20psi no matter how far I back the screw out and tap on it. Any ideas for anything better? I need to be able to turn it down to around 5 to 10 psi

I was thinking maybe I'd try this. I just hate to pay this much

Seems to be quality.  I have one I purchased to regulate the water feed to a steam generator.  It hasn't enjoyed extensive use due to some issues not related to the regulator.  Obviously will probably need some adapters if you're going to hook a water hose to it.

Supply House is a great source for plumbing parts.  I'm sure they have some regulators that might fit the bill.  Economical and they often have your order on your doorstep the next day!
