Water pressure regulator

[Gary_374301095]

Can anyone explain to me how to set the water pressure regulator to the correct pressure please (I know to turn the knob before anyone says it)

Gary, the pressure switch needs to be set to come on as soon as a tap is opened, and shut off no more than 5 seconds after the tap is closed, but preferably 2 to 3 secs.

Trial and error is the only way to do it!!just adjust a little at a time.

Open a tap, so that you have a steady fow with no spluttering.Turn the pressure switch fully clockwise-the pump will continue to run. Close the tap. Turn the pressure switch knob anti-clockwise steadily until there is a click. Continue a turther 1/2 turn. This setting should be about right. The cold side should shut the pump off quickly, but allow longer say 10 secs for the hot side. A minor adjustment may still be required.

If you switch from mains to battery power (and vice-versa), expect to have repeat this process

I hope your switch is easily accessible-I moved mine for this reason

Thankyou for that advise, I had the same problem while away over the weekend and I couldnt get it right, it was trial and error but I didnt get it right, I can set it up correctly now.

The pressure regulator is a flawed design - the pump pressure depends on voltage so you need to set the regulator using a flat(ish) battery without hook-up.

If you set the regulator using a hook-up, the battery voltage will be 13.8v from the power supply. If you then become reliant on just the battery, it'll only be 12.0-12.7v, which won't be enough to turn the pump off!
