Regulating your RV water pressure may seem simple but can you see exactly what your pressure is set to? There are so many different methods out there to regulate the water coming into your RV. I like to be able to see the gauge on our so that I know exactly what my water system is doing. In this video, you will see a great option for doing just that.

💥 Excellent video, very thoroughly done. Thanks for explaining this situation. I've got a similar looking regulator by Valterra from Amazon and thanks to you can actually operate it properly just now. Those tips are definitely well said too! My Valterra didn't come with that nice case though, which is very thoughtful of your brand. Good tools should come with a good case. I do my screw pressure adjustment before I attach the hose to the RV. I put a shut valve at the end of the hose end that attaches to the RV, so I don't have to walk back and forth in and out of the RV. My thought is maybe it's not a bad idea to shut the campground main water supply to the RV off even when turning in for the night. 🤔 But if not, at least people are there and wake up occasionally and often need to use the bathroom anyway😂 Just wish more tool cases came in brighter highly visible colors. So many tools of my tools are all dark colors and difficult to spot. Happy and safe RVing. 👍

@HowToRV 3 года назад

I agree on the case color. I would love to see them different colors too.

@Hundert1 3 года назад

@@HowToRV Yep, color options always are appreciated. I guess you don't like my idea of capping the hose end and making regulator screw adjustments before attaching hose to the RV, right? I think it's interesting that the gpm flow is the same regardless of the pressure we set the regulator at. Hope I got that right. Thanks

@HowToRV 3 года назад

@@Hundert1 I think that is a great idea as well. I set mine at home and it usually holds the whole time I’m out. I set mine around 35 to 40 that way I do not get close to max on my camper and I can watch for any kind of fluctuations. Your idea is perfect and I am thinking about doing a shut off valve like that.

@OrdinarytoExtraordinaryLife 3 года назад

We bought the same pressure regulator about 4 months ago. It's already saved us from water damage. We first used it at a campground that regulates their pressure at 40 psi. Figured that out when I was unable to adjust the pressure above 40 psi. The next campground was a different story. While doing the normal setup, I installed the pressure regulator on the water facet, connected the hose to our trailer, turned on the water and went back to setting up while my wife ran the air out of the lines. After setup I did a visual inspection and found a slight drip underneath where the low point drains come out from underneath the bathroom sink. Went to turn the water off and saw that the water pressure was at 60 psi. Not good. Adjusted it down to 40 psi and the drip stopped. Pulled the panel under the sink and saw that I caught it before any damage. The fittings just could not handle 60 psi.

We stopped using these after the 3rd one failed. 1st one was left in the rv during winter storage so my fault but 2nd and 3rd one were dried and brought inside and both of those didnt work come spring. We started using a Camco fixed regulator and so far it works fine and regulates the pressure to between 40-45psi and best of all they are about 13 bucks versus 50, 60 + for one of the adjustable regulators.

@HowToRV 5 месяцев назад

Is it fluctuating with no water running? If so, it could be the park. If you have something that is running periodically, that can be a cause. If all else fails, send it back and get another. I must say though, I have never seen one fail because of fluctuating. Also, if you are talking about when you move from campsite to campsite, that’s not unusual.

@tmc9525 Год назад

I know RV’s are poorly assembled but so was my last house. My last house plumbing was pex plumbing with crimp fittings and Shark bite fittings with high pressure city water and never had a leak. My rv has crimp fittings that look properly installed so why the need for pressure reducer?

@HowToRV Год назад

For most, water pressure in residential homes are between 40 and 60 psi. I have been to a lot RV parks where the water pressure is above 100 psi. This is why it is important to have a regulator. As you said, PEX can handle residential pressures and to keep your RV around the same pressure, you would need a regulator for those RV sites that are to high. Some RV campgrounds have higher pressure because of how many are using there water at the same time. Even if the campground pressure is low when you get there, the usage at that time from other may be high. When useage slows down, pressure can go up. To make sure that you keep your RV safe and healthy, istall a water pressure regulator and you will never have to worry if there couldbe any damages or leaks. I hope this explaination helps. Happy camping and God Bless.

I would guess that, if I have adjusted it outside the factory settings, I have to reset it to less than 50. Is it not the pressure of the water while on that we must read? Or, is it the same with the water off? I'm seeing less pressure in my shower, but it's closer to the city connection. I'll try to reset tomorrow with my wife inside controlling the water. But, my main question is, running or not inside while adjusting? Thx

@HowToRV 2 года назад

Should adjust then turn water on and off again. You will want to see the actual pressure with water not running in your RV. Turning water faucet on and back off will reset and show true value. Hope this helps.

@jmiller9123 2 года назад

So I’ve seen some comments on pressure regulators that say that if the water is not running in the camper the pressure will equalize through out the system. Is there a regulator that stops the pressure while the water is not flowing?

@HowToRV 2 года назад

Not that I am aware of. There are what is call back flow preventers but that releases pressure if the water supply is turned off. I recommend to keep your system at the manufacturers recommended pressure (usually no more than 40 psi) and if you have to leave or not around to keep an eye on things, to turn off the water heater and water supply. Hope this helps.

@jillofalltradesaka-legyver6600 Год назад

I noticed that my psi is higher when faucet is off and dropped when faucet is on. Do I adjust the desire psi while one faucet is on? Or do I adjust desire psi when faucet is off?

Set psi when there is no water running. This is to make sure that you will not build up more pressure than your piping can handle.

@brucepeterka4535 3 года назад

Hi, I use your water regulator, however, there are 2 pressure ratings...flow pressure and static pressure. Which should I be regulating. If with faucets are open - I set the pressure to 60 PSI..when the faucet/values are closed (static) the pressure rises to 80 PSI. Am I over pressured?

@HowToRV 3 года назад

If your gauge is like mine then you would see a red mark that you should not go above. When using the pressure gauge, you should not have anything running and set to to around 40 psi. This will ensure that your plumbing will not get damaged. It is normal to see pressure drops as you turn water on in your RV. Hope this helps.

All of this makes sense to me now. The "Gallons-per-minute" info also answered the other question I had. I have been using the small fixed pressure regulator, and not getting adequate flow from our inside faucets. I'll be using this adjustable regulator going forward.... will give it a try in about a month! Thanks a ton.

@johnnyg8391 2 года назад

Hey Jason. So how about the faucet to the water filter to the pressure regulator?

@HowToRV 2 года назад

I put the regulator before everything. It will protect the hose, filter and your RV. Hope this helps.

I am using one now. It says the water pressure is at 40 psi but it's got a lot of pressure from the toilet valve. Not sure if that's good or not.

@HowToRV 4 месяца назад

sometimes the holes that the water comes out of in the toilet are small and makes it appear that the pressure is higher. Also make sure that the pressure is at 40 when you have no water running in the RV.

@georgehuerta1990 Год назад

Is it 40 psi on the gauge while the water is running because when I turn off the water it goes up to 65 psi and that concerns me

@HowToRV Год назад

It should be at 35 or so with water not running. Hope this helps. It’s ok to see pressure drop with water on and running.

Why does the gauge have a blue line for the range of pressure up to 60 psi?

@HowToRV 3 года назад

The blue line starts at 45 and goes to 60. I keep mine at the 45 psi. Some folks say that their RV can handle 60 psi but I do not line to push that far. 45 psi does everything that i need and I feel better knowing that I am not pushing it to the max. Hope this helps

@hollythecrossstitchaddict83 2 года назад

I tried all of that and when I adjust my regulator the needle doesn't move. Is this supposed to be done with the water on or off? Faucets running or no? I've tried every way possible. Got it today brand new. Any help would be appreciated thanks

@HowToRV 2 года назад

Turn the water on and faucet running too. Dial the pressure to around 5 or 10. Then turn the faucets and anything else running water off. Go back and turn up the pressure very slowly until you get your desired pressure. Also, the close you get to your desired pressure the slower you should adjust so that you do not go over your mark. If you do, then you can repeat this process.

My regulator makes a lot of noise when I turn on the water in my trailer. My neighbors have asked me to remove it and not use it because the noise is very loud and annoying. Does anyone have any suggestions?

There should be no reason for a regulator to make noise. But i guess it’s possible. Considering the low cost on Amazon, I would try getting another one.

Can you increase the psi going into the rv?

@HowToRV 8 месяцев назад

You can increase and decrease the pressure. Increasing the pressure only works if the site that you are at has enough pressure to go higher. Be careful to not increase the pressure too much. If to high, the pressure could cause leaks in your RV.

I noticed that my regulator at 50 psi and when the sink or shower is turned on it drops to 35 to 40 psi. Which is the real pressure?

@HowToRV 2 года назад

The real or actual pressure your looking for is when everything in the RV is off and no water flow. This is because you do not want to exceed the RVs capability of holding pressure. Hope this makes sense.

Static pressure. Nothing running.

Flow restrictor vs flow regulator.

@HowToRV 3 года назад

There is a difference for sure

@Dougy_Fresh 2 года назад

You're a bit off on the water flow / speed bit. What you were getting at is flow. You want to adjust psi but keep maximum flow. Flow is the volume of water, psi is more closely related to the "speed" or pressure that volume is at.

@HowToRV 2 года назад

Thank you for the review/comment. I went back through the video and noticed where I relate flow to what the campground/park is capable of producing. This was to show the this regulator restricts very little flow. As to PSI or pounds per square inch or speed, I am missing where I referenced incorrectly. Can you point to where in the video is wrong?

@Dougy_Fresh 2 года назад

@@HowToRV you weren't necessarily wrong, just the terms could be more beneficial to people. That is all. You mentioned that the regulator doesn't restrict "speed" like the non adjuaables do, flow would be a more accurate term. As in gallons per minute / gpm versus psi.

@HowToRV 2 года назад

I watched a second time and I think I know the point where your talking about. Flow or also known as flow rate is the speed at which water will travel. PSI or pounds per square inch is the strength behind the flow rate. I think that you are talking about velocity. Water velocity is a measure of the speed of water flowing through a closed pipe system. Water velocity can be determined using a simple formula: V = Q/A Where, V = velocity Q = Flow rate A = cross-sectional area of pipe

@HowToRV 2 года назад

@@Dougy_Fresh ok. I see where your coming from. People can more relate to gallons per minute or how much water is consumed over time rather than confusing them with flows, velocities and pressures. I have worked in the mechanical and electrical industrial engineering arena for so long I tend to forget. Thanks.
