Product Review

Every system experiences pressure fluctuations resulting in unwanted flow deviations and over or under-watering. In nursery, home & commercial landscape watering systems, pressures can fluctuate when zones cycle on or off or due to elevation changes in the irrigation system. A water pressure regulator works like an automatic valve to limit higher pressure to a desired constant lower pressure. It is important to maintain the correct operating pressure for optimum droplet size and radius of throw. Regulation is also imperative to properly meter application of fertilizers & herbicides through the irrigation system. Despite being an essential part of any drip system, pressure regulators are often not included in drip irrigation kits. Pair with backflow preventer and keep extra handy for irrigation repair, replacement parts, or expansion.

Note: If you measure PSI of this Pressure Regulator with a Pressure Gauge, please note "End cap" style gauges do not measure accurately because they block flow of water when screwed onto the end of the regulator. The spring inside the regulator only activates when water is actively flowing through it. For accurate results, use a gauge that allows water to flow unblocked through the regulator while measuring.
